 Some mad odds available. Time for me to dip into some of these I think with the election only 6 months away...

No overall majority 11.0 :shock:
Conservative losses 101-150 11.5
Oct-Dec 1.22 (surely this is nailed on?)
The market for month of Sunaks disposal caught my eye although not a lot of money in it yet.

Dumping Sunak before an election would be a damage limitating action. He's toast and so are the Tories so why not take the pain now and start a rebuild early?

Has anyone on here backed a Labour majority when it was a decent price?

Most seats not majority though. Not sure why it was 230. Some bizarre mental accounting probably. :lol:

I don't understand Scottish politics at the moment. SNP was unbeatable, then needed the Greens to maintain a majority.
Looks awful from down here in England. But at least the Scots haven't elected a Johnson or Truss. :-)
I'd be surprised if Yousaf survives this though.

Sunak not ruling out a July election (6.8/8.0). Nothing's going right for him at the moment and it doesn't look as if it will get any better the longer he leaves it. :)

Got to be an October election now. Labour voters are reticent when the weather is crap. Sunak's best chance. ie a snowball's (I may live to regret that comment).

Labour voters work in the cold, Tory voters work in air-conditioned offices. They won't come out to vote in the cold. ;)
