Latest Next Government Betting Odds

The Liberal Democrats can’t seem to make their mind up on whether to support Conservatives or Labour in a coalition government, and neither can the bookmakers.

Skybet (Go to Skybet ») provide the clearest illustration of a nation that is generally in the dark over the future of its government. They go 11/10 on both a Lib Dem/Conservative and a Lib Dem/Labour joint majority government whilst offering odds of 5/2 on the Conservatives going it alone and attempting to form a minority government.

The restlessness of the population is beginning to simmer and Nick Clegg and his party are expected to make an announcement shortly. But who will they side with? A Conservative party led by David Cameron who were indisputably the choice of the nation en masse, or a Labour government with a new leader at the helm from September onwards.

Gordon Brown’s announcement that he will step down as Labour leader could have been a deal breaker with Clegg and the Lib Dems, but who will replace the current Prime Minister at the helm? David Miliband is the overwhelming favourite with the bookmakers and within the Labour party, and can be backed at odds of 8/13 with Bet365 (Go to Bet365 ») to take over from Brown. Alan Johnson, Ed Balls and Ed Miliband are all also high on the list of candidates.
