What the expert says.
Labour are just 1/10 to gain the most seats at the next General Election
Labour are expected to win the next General Election with the latest polls by YouGov putting them well clear of the Conservative Party with 18% expecting a large Labour majority.
The latest betting odds are now 1/10 for Labour to gain the most seats at the next General Election with Paddy Power putting them far clear of the Conservatives in the market.
Those odds suggest there's a 90% chance that Labour get the most seats at the next General Election which is expected to be an extremely important election for the Labour Party.
| Most Seats - Next General Election | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | 1/10 | 90.9% |
| Conservatives | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Liberal Democrats | 150/1 | 0.7% |
| Greens | 150/1 | 0.7% |
By-Election betting is available with local elections taking place later this month
By-Election betting is also a market that is available to be punted on with the Mid-Bedfordshire by-election taking place on 19 October following Nadine Dorries resignation.
Liberal Democrats were the favourites at 10/11 to win the By-Election back at the start of the month but those odds have now changed with Labour now 6/5 at the top of the market.
Emma Holland-Lindsay is the Liberal Democrats representative in Mid-Bedfordshire and she current represents Leighton Buzzard on the Central Bedfordshire Council after winning the seat from the Conservatives in May's local elections.
