With the nation voting in the most difficult financial circumstances the idea that Britain’s plight could be made worse if no party gets an overall majority seems like a pretty potent message to me.

This story looks set to flare-up time and time again in the coming weeks and could start to drive the narrative. Good news for the Blues I believe.
William Hill and Victor Chandler both have “hung parliament YES or NO” markets. The former’s no price is 1/2 while the latter’s is 4/7. You can also lay the option in the Betfair overall majority market.

and Bet365 all have a Tory overall majority at 4/7.
