New study shows they are actually the publics best choice in any hypothetical match-up where they are one of the main challengers.

What this means in practical terms is that if they begin to pull ahead of Labour (which has happened in a few outlier polls already) then they will likely win a lot more seats than expected. The main barrier to voting Green is people don't believe the Greens can win their seat.

This still leaves reform to beat-but it looks like Restore Britain is creaming off many votes. 9/1 might well be value in that context. Finally Polanski is a very impressive performer and will very likely benefit from the debates when they happen.

If you really think its elvis alive odds level by all means lay all the money on the market-I mean it is a dead cert you can't lose. You wouldn't just be mouthing off would you?

Labour 2.8
Green 10.5
Restore 20

It's completely out of kilter with the OM market. Money pushing these prices around, £3K up at 23 for Restore!

It's so unappealing to get involved in a market that won't settle for years, but I have been sucked in.

I think Elvis can be backed at around 2,000 to 1

In a straight match up with the greens id probably go with the king

If the market moves towards you then you can hedge, get back your stake, and have an effective free bet on the outcome.

The "money tied up for years" thing doesn't really apply on betfair they way it does with bookies, there's no additional vig or capital constraints from hedging.

In that novara media video I posted, all the Green people did was smear reform. I suppose Labour's landslide proves people can get elected on the basis of saying how rubbish someone else is. But the narrative in the real world is the damage that Labour are doing. To go even more liberalist globalist has extremely limited appeal.

OK if its so funny hahhahahahahahaah then you should lay the entire market And you won't because you could potentially lose your life savings as you well know because it isn't that unlikely ahhahahahahahhhahah, it is just unlikely.

Of course cheese, but typically I am a position taker rather than trader. Depends on the prices but I don't usually green up for the sake of it (pardon the pun). However, Restore should be a very cheap green up.

Best be wary of big lumps a few points behind best - often they signify weakness rather than strength and can vanish in a click.

23 is a completely random guess:- whatever reservations one may have about Reform’s ability to form the party with most seats at the next GE go double for Restore. What did Warren Buffet say about buying a share in a company? Don’t hold it for a day unless you would hold it for a number of years. Backing Restore at 20 is like investing in a company that is hype and a mailbox. Not to say you won’t find a bigger mug to offload at 15 but ..

It's quite depressing watching the party political broadcasts recently. The Lib Dems, Labour and Greens basically used the time to just slag off Reform and tell us not to vote for them , whilst giving precious few reasons to actually vote for their own party. Pathetic.

The Greens have too many whack jobs within the party, especially their leader. Once the average voter finds out their aims include such as completely open borders, even higher taxation than Labour, free uni, war on landlords etc then they will have no chance of getting near power.

On a local level they will have more chance of success, even i voted for one of them at the last local election as he is a decent guy who actually cares about our area and
helps improve it without playing politics or banging on about the Green's national agenda.

It is almost like we did that in the greatest period of recent prosperity and benefitted from a highly skilled workforce overall.

Rupert Lowe to be the next PM in 2026 has been trading 9/1 to 15/1 on Poly, makes the restore price on here look sane.

Ah thanks. It all makes sense now.

Great opportunities for everyone: for example, join Restore for £20 and be eligible for Elon Musk’s million pound daily lottery giveaway near voting time. Don’t think it couldn’t happen here.

Next level. For an annual donation of just £2500 (or more) you can join Restore’s exclusive Cromwell Club. Members will be invited to an annual dinner in London and other exclusive events with right-minded people throughout the year.

You don't have to be a racist to recognise 'socialist' politicians and their hangers-on enjoying the perks of high office.

By:

Indeed, I am aware of the wider use of the phrase

However I don't see any forumites being socialist politicians
enjoying the perks of public office, therefore these
epithets are simply a forum rebuke from envious racists.
