Anyone any idea about the massive amounts matched on the absolute no-hopers at 1000.0 ??
Workers Party of Britain for example. £471.54 traded at 1000
Rejoin Uk. £190.88 at 1000

greening up in case people see through the freaky greens and go anywhere else....and a low turn out. Lord Sutch would've stood in chance in that seat.
oh yeah.... bots. |

By:
Workers Party is George Galloway who was thinking about standing. If he had, then 1000 would be a good price.
But yeah, bots. |

The betting is probably wrong but...
It is near-impossible to call because the seat is a relatively new one created by smashing together two areas that have nothing in common. There's been next to no polling. The parties have nothing to judge this month's canvass return against: the new parties are too new and Labour never bothered in the past because they weighed the vote rather than counted it. And some say the Greens are not even bothering knocking on doors. Stand by for massive aftertiming around 3am. |

Constituency polling is typically tiny samples and conducted in English. I suppose it can provide a very general guide, but 10% errors quite possible.

WPB came 4 th in the general election not far behind reform , and greens,

By:
Indeed, but they aren't on the ballot! One of the variables that was positive for the greens.
Personally I feel any of the three could win, and the market order is how I would have it. I'm happy to have traded a win whatever the result. |

My mistake. Sir Oink A-Lot is standing for the MRL Party. I hope he wins.

After cheating some more I can't find anything especially interesting!
Apparently Man City has roots in Gorton. And Bouncing Billy Barker aka Springheel Jack Bouncing Billy Barker, (aka Springheel Jack, aka The Man With Springboard muscles) was famed for his ability to jump onto a tray of eggs and out again without breaking them and being able to jump onto a man who was holding a lit candle in his mouth, snuff it out with no harm to the man. His feats of jumping over Openshaw Canal using momentum weights were indeed famous and quite true. |

Gorton is and always has been one of the few areas in Manchester that is blue,but your cheating hasn’t done you any good as it’s not the answer,as for billy barker I have to say I wasn’t aware of him.

Sadly I've only been to the general area once. And that was an away game to Old Trafford, so literally car to pub, pub to ground, ground back to car. It could have been anywhere. I would love to take in more of the 'north', and possibly live there. When I've jacked in work.

The Electoral Commission give Democracy Volunteers access to polling stations at election time. Only they and the police can go inside. They’ve just issued this report about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton:
Democracy Volunteers deployed four accredited election observers across the Gorton and Denton Westminster Parliamentary By-election today. The team attended 22 of the 45 polling stations in the constituency, spending between 30 and 45 minutes in each. The observers worked in pairs using the international standard for election observation - the four eyes principle. Each team assessed several aspects of the polling process, from accessibility to issues around the integrity of the vote. Staff were welcoming to the team and we would like to thank them for their time in accommodating our work. The team assessed two significant aspects of electoral integrity - family voting (where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting) which breaches the secret ballot. The team also assessed the impact of the requirement for voters to show ID before they are issued with a ballot paper. 2023 saw the enactment of the Ballot Secrecy Act, which made the practice of family voting more clearly a breach of the secret ballot, making it more enforceable by staff in polling stations. Signage is now available to discourage the practice. Signage was only seen in 45% of the polling stations observed. The observer team saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, some 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. The team observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes - meaning 12% of those voters observed either caused or were affected by family voting. Commenting John Ault, Director of Democracy Volunteers said; ‘Today we have seen concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton. Based on our assessment of today’s observations, we have seen the highest levels of family voting at any election in our 10 year history of observing elections in the UK.’ ‘We rarely issue a report on the night of an election, but the data we have collected today on family voting, when compared to other recent by-elections, is extremely high.’ ‘In the other recent Westminster parliamentary by-election in Runcorn and Helsby we saw family voting in 12% of polling stations, affecting 1% of voters. In Gorton and Denton, we observed family voting in 68% of polling stations, affecting 12% of those voters observed.’ The team also observed cases of voters being turned away, however, in each case this was due to them not being a registered voter for Westminster elections, such as having EU citizenship, and only being allowed to vote in local elections. The team also saw a number of voters taking photographs of their ballot papers and one voter being authorised to vote despite them already having been marked as voted earlier in the day. Democracy Volunteers has informed elections staff at Manchester City Council about our findings today. |

There’s some great places in the north there both very different but great places to visit Harrogate and Newcastle,despite the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester I always enjoy going to Liverpool just a fun place with plenty of character about it ,further north Edinburgh is very much worth a visit ,from a racing point of view Hexham and Kelso are impossible not to like and you would get a very pleasant surprise at Hamilton.who was you watching on your visit to old Trafford ? |

The Labour cabinet minister Heidi Alexander just been on the BBC, and put a great spin on the result...
When asked about Labour going from a big majority to 3rd place behind Greens and Reform, she replied that if you add Labour and Green votes together it shows the public uniting behind 2 progressive parties to keep out Reform ...!!! ...And then refused to speculate on " what if" Labour had allowed Andy Burnham to stand |

So another one that thinks all gambling is bad I've no idea of the figures, but would guess it's substantial, but the money the National Lottery raises for good causes would have to be found elsewhere (taxes) ...Or would this not count as gambling which these lefties detest Btw, "wireless " ...I still use that word myself, youngsters give you a blank stare |
