Boris Johnson has bet on the Conservatives to win the UK general election with a majority despite all the signs Britain will fall victim to another hung parliament. He’s promised to respect the referendum result and deliver Brexit but has already seen big names in his party apparatus gaffe horribly and faces a hard fought battle so is hitting up Bet365, one of the best online sportsbook sites in the UK right now, to back the Tories to get such an emphatic victory? No. 

“If we have another hung parliament,” Tweeted the British Prime Minister, “it would lead to two more chatoric referendums next year. The Conservatives only need 9 more seats to win a majority and leave by the end of January with a deal.” Which doesn’t so much outline how that might be achieved as highlight the fact that the Tories are alone amid the major parties to be behind Brexit, but does it justify a bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general election?

Many are now fed up of the entire process and an end to Brexit, even a catastrophic one, is now preferable to a drawn out Brexit that might involve some cushioning against the negative economic impacts and of course longside them most Brexiteers will bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general election too. This means a bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general election, perfectly legal under UK gambling laws, could well be the best of the bets.

Bet365 Gives Boris Johnson 8/15 To Win A Majority

Of course, anyone who thinks they can predict this election is out to lunch, and between the problems of islamophobia within the party, their record of austerity and litany of broken promises, there’s just a chance they’ll gaffe themselves out of contention. Especially if they continue to allow the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg to represent them. A bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general election could easily go up in flames because of his disconnection.

An old Etonian telling dead poor people they were stupid to listen to the advice of the authorities was not an image making a bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general election look appealing. It didn’t even make voting for them look appealing. Just to what degree the obvious lack of empathy and massive self-entitlement the majority of Conservatives suffer from will hurt them at the polls is a topic those who like to bet on sports in the UK will argue about forever.

Bet On The Conservatives To Win The UK General Election

Fortunately for the Conservatives, the Brexit Party, who for a while looked likely to split the Brexit-favoring voters at the polls, this week withdrew candidates from a large number of seats and whilst that probably marks the end of them as a political force, it hands the best boost Boris could have hoped for. You can always bet on politics in the UK to be fluid, but this sea change means a bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general at Bet365 just got more attractive.

UK General Election 2019

Right now the odds on Boris Johnson and his bet on Brexit garners 8/15 at the bookies like Bet365, one of the best online betting sites in the UK today, which is just shorter than a Hung Parliament on 6/4, but the bookies got Brexit wrong so can you really believe them this time? A bet on the Conservative Party to win the UK general is perhaps the best choice of a bad bunch, but with a long way to go until the polls close on December 12th it’s all very much up in the air.
