Tories Now on Target to Beat 1983 Margaret Thatcher Landslide
The results of the local results are still coming out but the Conservative party's impressive early gains are moving our UK election spread betting markets.
Yesterday, our market on Conservative seats market was 388.5 - 392.5. The market has now moved about 10 seats higher to 398 - 402 seats, i.e. predicting the Tories will win 400 seats at the election.
The increase is coming directly at the expense of the beleaguered Labour party who are only expected to win 152 seats.
Our Labour party seats market is now at 150 - 154, down 10 seats from yesterday's quote of 160 - 164.
Estimated Conservative Majority: 152 seats
If the market is correct, the Conservative party should win 152 seats at the UK election and beat Margaret Thatcher's 1983 landslide win of 144 seats.
Will the Theresa May - Margaret Thatcher comparisons ever end?
