Conservative MP Resignations

  • Nickie Aiken (Cities of London and Westminster)

These departures contribute to the challenges the Conservative party faces in retaining their seats in London.

Here is the list of political parties and the number of seats they are favored to win according to the betting odds:

  1. Labour: 436
  2. Conservatives: 122
  3. Liberal Democrats: 48
  4. SNP: 16
  5. Sinn Fein: 7
  6. DUP: 7
  7. Plaid Cymru: 5
  8. SDLP: 1
  9. Green: 2
  10. Alliance: 1
  11. Independent: 1
  12. UUP: 1

General Election

Labour is given a 93% chance of securing the most seats, with odds of 1/14, while the Conservatives have much longer odds at 13/2​ . Additionally, modelling by Electoral Calculus suggests Labour could win a significant majority in the House of Commons, with predictions indicating around 342 seats for Labour compared to just 37 for the Conservatives​.

The Conservatives, under Rishi Sunak, face significant challenges, including internal party divisions and low public approval. Sunak's odds of remaining Prime Minister are much lower, standing at 5/1, compared to Keir Starmer's 1/6​.

These projections reflect a dramatic shift from the 2019 general election, where the Conservatives won a substantial majority. If these trends hold, Labour is likely to form the next government, potentially with a solid majority.
