Even as someone with a Jewish heritage I consider your point nonsense.

Are you suggesting that the government should ignore minority groups?

As somone who IS Jewish and celebrates Sukkot, I don't expect someone making a decision in a rush to consider 0.4% of the population. I do expect that when their error is pointed out to them they correct it, and not say "it's done and dusted, can't be changed". And that's exactly what has happened - it's been moved to the 15th. That still only gives observant Jews a couple of hours to get their votes in which is still going to be a pain in the neck in some cases but it makes it possible for most of them to note without relying on a postal vote (and expecting some constituencies suddenly to cope with 1000s of extra postal votes at short notice).

I don't see a problem with the way things panned out.
