THREAD: How the characters from The Handmaid’s Tale voted in the EU referendum.

JUNE: Remain. Used to be Lib Dem and wouldn’t discuss politics at social occasions. Now walks up to strangers in the street and yells “REGISTER TO VOTE!”.
SERENA JOY: Leave. Smiled as she voted. Is now a Brexit Party MEP.
FRED: Leave. Thinks about voting Leave when he whacks off. Wants a second referendum so he can vote Leave again and pretend he’s having a threesome with both of his Leave votes.
AUNT LYDIA: Leave. If she sees someone give a homeless person money she will literally chase them down the street to tell them the homeless person will just spend that money on drugs.
COMMANDER LAWRENCE: Didn’t vote even though he made the referendum happen just to be an edgelord. Feels bad about it. Hopes there’ll be a second referendum so he can delete his guilt from his brain’s browser history.
NICK: Remain but won’t talk about it. Barely voted to be honest, for a minute it looked like he might just not put a cross on his ballot and would just stand in the polling booth for 45 seconds then walk off, sadly.
EMILY: Remain. Heard someone in a shop say “Boris will get it done” and started sighing and her sigh lasted 15 minutes, seriously, her lungs nearly collapsed from sighing in exasperation.
JANINE: Remain. Mainly in to politics because on election day she gets to retweet pics of dogs outside polling stations for 12+ hours. Has replied to almost 500 tweets with “look at this good boy”.
MOIRA: Remain. Kicked open the door of the polling station because she has HAD it with this nonsense. In the event of a second referendum she will open the door of the polling station with her head.
LUKE: Remain. Forever walking past food banks and saying “I wish I could do more” and then feeling good about wishing he could do more.
