William Hill still make a 2010 Election their 8/13 favourite and have lengthened the odds about a January-June 2009 date from 7/4 to 5/2 second favourite. "With Gordon Brown slipping in the opinion polls, he will have to think carefully about when he thinks there will be the greatest number of factors in his favour to enable him to go to the country." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "Clearly a growing number of people believe that will be in the second half of this year." Smokers Could Influence General Election Bookies Paddy Power predict that the Conservatives will win the next General Election with odds of just 2/5 (1.4) with Labour at 7/4 (2.75) and the Liberal Democrats priced up at odds of 150/1. UKIP (UK Independence Party) could gain a massive boost from smokers in the next General Election as they are the only main political party to have stated in their manifesto that they intend to repeal the highly Unpopular Smoking Ban. UKIP are currently available at odds of 1000/1 to win the next General Election but these odds could fall as more smokers and annoyed pub-regulars learn of UKIP's manifesto pledge and spread the news to other voters. |
