Bookmakers today shed light on an election devoid of opposition, pricing the Tories 1/7 to win an overall majority in June.
With Labour significantly behind in the polls, the UK’s opposition party is 14/1 to win the General Election, with “no majority” 13/2.
The Conservatives are 1/10 to win the most seats, with Labour priced 7/1 and Lib Dems priced at 20/1.
Betway’s Alan Alger, said: “Following Theresa May’s announcement this morning that the UK will hold a snap election on 8 June, we predict an easy victory for the Conservative Party and go 1/7 on them remaining in Office.
“After a second poll in two days confirmed a comfortable 21-point lead for the Conservatives over Labour, we’re not expecting a hung parliament at 13/2.
“Labour are distant 14/1-shots to get into Office, while we place the Liberal Democrats at 100/1 and UKIP at a huge 250/1.”

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
