Labour are the 11/8 favourites to win a majority at the next General Election after Rishi Sunak was named the new leader of the Conservative party on Monday.
The Tories are 5/1 to gain a majority, having once been as short as 8/11 on Betfair Exchange, whilst a General Election seems a long way off, though, with it 1/3 to happen in 2024 or later, while 2023 is 14/5.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said, “Incoming Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces a big task on his hands keeping the Conservatives in power, according to odds on Betfair Exchange.
“Labour are 11/8 to win a majority at the next General Election, while the Conservatives are 5/1, having once been odds-on at 8/11.
“Labour leader Keir Starmer has called for a General Election, but he might not get his wish anytime soon, with it 31/1 to take place this year and 14/5 to happen in 2023. The most likely year for a General Election to occur is 2024 or later at 1/3”.
