PRESS RELEASE: Starmer resignation sees price on 2027 General Election cut again

The chance of a General Election next year has increased with Star Sports following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation this morning.

With the odds of a General Election in 2027 having shortened from 11/2 into 7/2 in the last few days, following Starmer’s announcement that has been clipped in further to 11/4.

Labour are currently narrow 13/8 favourites to win most seats at the next General Election, ahead of Reform at 2/1, followed by the Conservatives (11/2) and Restore Britian (13/2).

It’s 8/15 that no party wins an overall majority at the next General Election, with Labour having shortened into 5/1 from 11/2 to win a majority and Reform priced at 13/2.

Flynn Goward, Managing Director at Star Sports, said: “Following the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer this morning, a General Election next year looks more and more likely.

“We had a 2027 General Election priced at 11/2 late last week and that shortened into 7/2 over the weekend, but with Starmer on his way out of Downing Street, it’s now just 11/4 that the nation will head to the polls next year.

“Labour head the betting to win most seats at the next General Election at 13/8, but they’re not far clear of Nigel Farage’s Reform (2/1), and it’s odds-on at 8/15 that no party wins a clear majority, with the political landscape changing once again this morning.”
