68% of bets on the market have gone on Nigel Farage’s new party.
Bookies have installed the new Brexit Party as 6/4 second favourites to gain the most seats at the next European Parliament elections, with 2/1 the best price on offer.
Launched yesterday by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, the Brexit Party comes as a response to Theresa May’s agreed extension to Brexit which is likely to lead to European Parliament elections in the UK next month.
Punters have wasted no time in backing Farage’s party to achieve their goal, with a significant 68% of bets on the market in the last 24 hours going their way.
The party is said to have 70 candidates for the elections, with one revealed as Annunziata Rees-Mogg, the sister of infamous Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Labour remain the current favourites, priced at evens. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have drifted out to 7/1.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: “If you haven't heard about the Brexit Party yet, this will not be the last of it. Nigel Farage is back in UK Politics and he is arguing for a No Deal Brexit.
“The European Parliamentary Elections could be a huge moment in deciding the route down which this country goes. The Brexit Party are currently 66/1 to win the most seats in the next General Election.”
