Tories Sneak Ahead In Election Race

TORIES SNEAK AHEAD IN ELECTION BETTING...The Conservatives are now 4/5 favourites to win the next General Election with William Hill, who say this is the first time they have nudged ahead of Labour in the betting since they lost power. 'The punting pendulum has swung steadily towards the Tories since Cameron became leader and betting support for Labour has dried up' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Labour 10/11 - the longest odds offered since they came to power - while the Lib Dems are out to 80/1 - 'Noone seriously believes they could win.'
At the same time the odds about Gordon Brown succeeding Tony Blair have been lengthening as well. William Hill, who not long ago offered him at 1/10 to take over are now as long as 1/ 4 (stake £4 to win £1). 'Brown is still hot favourite to become next Labour Leader but people have quietly been backing the likes of David Miliband, the 7/1 second favourite; Alan Johnson, 8/1 third favourite, and 12/1 shot John Reid who is raising his profile considerably at the moment.'
