No.

Corrupt elections are extremely rare in the UK, and the idea that a fix could have taken place that resulted in such a big victory in a national election just isn't credible in my opinion.

ha, see the advantage of pro punting over pro trading? This pro gambler made a few bets over a few hours, then sat back laughing all the way to the bank. Compare to a top trader sitting and sweating and stressing all day for a year to make the same amount....

Peter's motto may be 'little and often', but mine is 'go in huge rarely'. The pro gambler waits for the opportunity then moves in huge... piling it on without hesitation...killer instinct takes the pot :D

I'm not saying it happened, I don't have the truth in my hand, ( just some doubts about e few videos and news I watched), but underestimating the possibility of rigged referemdum it seems a bit too partisan.
In Uk they still believe that Suddam Hussein had alien weapons from another galaxy so why I expect a slightly doubt about the integrity of the vote.

£900k was a serious punt, especially on something which ended up 55-45

He's got to be lying if he wasn't starting to get a little nervous at one point
