To Win Most Seats Betting General Information

The main parties in To Win Most Seats Betting Odds at the General Election are Labour and the Conservatives. The Liberal Democrats and Any Other Party (Greens, SNP, etc) make it into the odds compiler’s lists, but none have much realistic chance of winning with the first-past-the-post system used in the UK.

Out of the other parties, the Scottish Nationalists don’t stand in any of the seats contested outside of Scotland, and the same rules apply to the Northern Irish, and Welsh nationalist parties. They only stand in their own respective countries, making it is physically impossible for any of them to win most seats outright.

Also don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the leader of the winning party in this market will be the next Prime Minister, because this isn’t 100% the case.

If the party who wins the most seats has less than the 326 required to win the General Election outright, they might not be able to form the next government as they could be out voted by a coalition who – combining their total seats – have more seats than the party who actually won the most seats. This means thee coalition would form the next government and select their own Prime Minister.

Although this is a highly unlikely scenario, it isn’t impossible. Our page on Prime Minister After General Election Betting covers this topic in more detail.
