It is rumoured that Gordon Brown might go for a surprise General Election for Feb, on the back of data expected to be announced tomorrow, saying the country is out of recession. It will also get him out of the Chilcott enquiry before the General Election scenario.
The market price for February had dropped from 40/1 to 20/1 but it all could just be speculation. There will be plenty of rumours abound.
One thing I did notice when looking at the betting markets, is that the price for the BNP not to get a candidate elected is at its longest price ever of 2/9. The price for getting an MP has been stagnant for a while at 3/1. Bookies never like to lose money so I suggest they are generally the best gauge of the climate. As any sticking your finger in the air indicator can be.
