This week’s local by-election bet is in Lancashire
Smarkets continue their series of local by-election bets with today’s contest in the Lancashire ward of North Meols near Southport.
Last time there was an election here in 2019 the result was:
49% Cons
38% Lab
13% UKIP
This time there is not a UKIP candidate and we have a stright LAB-CON fight.
On the face of it this looks like a CON hold. Punters however are seeing it differently and Labour in now the 64% favourite.
I’m having a little bet on the Tories at about 40%.
