How many people do they need? The lay odds have been slowly reducing on May, from about 1.26 to 1.16

Come on betfair.

By:
This is bloody ridiculous.
|
|
By:
Embarrassing, really.
|

By:
Betfair have to be absolutely sure before they can settle market. Maybe photo of govt. in parliament with suitable i.d. verifications will be acceptable.

Unfortunately, Sybil, for some reason betfair has suspended my ability to deposit or withdraw, since Thursday.

Someone on Twitter said she had to fill 12 posts after the main people that she appointed yesterday.
|
|
By:
She was Prime Minister as soon as the Queen invited her to form a government. I appreciate that betfair rules are different, but only a prime minister can appoint ministers.
|
|
By:
Queen's Speech has to be voted on. Pretty sure that is the acid test.
|
|
By:
that's not what i've been told. specifically it's the formalisation of the DUP agreement.
but i'm not convinced. |

Thanks for the head's up Dstyle

The betfair rules do not mention anything about agreement of other parties or Queens Speech only:
"Who will be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when the first government is formed after the next UK general election. This market will be settled on the formation of the first ministry (government) after assent is given by the reigning monarch after the next UK general election." |
|
By:
Ministerial appointments are now approaching 20. Done with this now.
|
|
By:
So the government is technically formed before the Queen's Speech is voted on... that makes sense actually.
|
|
By:
my feeling is that there isn't a constitutional expert at BF Towers - there might be, but I'd not be too confident.
It does seem consistent with the idea that Brenda has said she can go ahead and form a government with the DUP, that if it all goes tits up, would May have to go back and ask again? I don't know. |
|
By:
i should add that I specifically asked if cabinet formation or the queen's speech would be the event that concluded this market and was told it was the DUP agreement.
|
|
By:
A Government hasn't been formed with out a agreement/coalition. IMVHO.
|
|
By:
DUP will not allow agreement to be made known until tomorrow. - They are not supposed to work on Sundays!
|
|
By:
They need absolute assurance that the Queen's speech will be voted through.
|
|
By:
They can't give absolute assurance that the Queen's speech will be voted through - the majority is 2 or something. Ken Clarke might cross to floor
 |
|
By:
have you heard that from them posy? Because that's not what i've been told.
|
|
By:
Arlene Foster is to meet May in No. 10 on Tuesday, according to Sky.
|
|
By:
No Dstyle it's my understanding of how the Constitution works
|
|
By:
Interesting posy.
"We will – obviously – amend the Queen’s Speech. There’s a possibility of voting it down and we’re going to push that all the way." - Corbyn on Marr. So is it the case that Corbyn is sowing the seed that no assurance can be given until the Quuen's Speech as actually been voted through? |
|
By:
The Queens speech is only an intention of the governments programme for the term, it can sometimes take a while for it to get to a vote.
If it doesn't go through there would normally be a vote of confidence in the government. But I bet during the debate, the Speaker refers to Theresa May as Prime Minister. |
|
By:
OK, so we need an absolute assurance from DUP that they will vote through the Queen's Speech for the government to be considered to be formed.
