Bookmakers William Hill are offering odds of 20/1 that Gordon Brown will not be the British Prime Minster by the end of the year and also offer just 6/1 that he will not lead Labour into the next General Election. "All of a sudden, punters have been looking for odds that Mr Brown will cease to be Labour leader" said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams. "We also have him at 1/12 to remain as leader until the next Election, but punters only seem to want to bet against him." Gordon Brown is 20/1 to cease to be Prime Minister this year, 2/1 in 2009 and 7/4 in 2010. The Conservatives are currently 4/7 favourites to win the next General Election with William Hill who make Labour 5/4 with the Lib Dems 66/1. For the first time, there is expected to be significant interest in the performance of UKIP (UK Independence Party) in the next General Election. UKIP are the only main political party to have stated in their manifesto that they intend to repeal the smoking ban. As a result, many of the UK's huge base of smokers who have seen their local pubs, clubs, casinos and bingo halls empty almost overnight as a result of the smoking ban are expected to switch loyalties to UKIP. |
