I read a story yesterday about a well groomed elderly gentleman walking into a Ladbrokes in London and sticking 30 grand on a conservative government @ 7/1. Sounds like the usual bookie ramping bollocks to get mugs to steam in and lower the price ............... however, then I read another article about how the two safest betting markets for odds indicating the winner were politics and reality tv shite. The reason being people normally bet for the person they are voting for (talking about the great unwashed here and not the sharks).
With this in mind I spent most of the night researching the various political parties and read numerous polls etc. I was amazed to find just how sensitive the betting market is to what happens in these debates and in particular what the politicians say. Last night we saw that Ginger dimlow with the smackable face, Danny Alexander, tell the press that the lib dems did not want another coalition with the conservatives. In the past few weeks we have seen Ed Milliband , pretty much write himself and the Labour party out of Scottish politics for generations to come. So I decided to place a bet ....... two bets in fact.
Conservative minority government 7.6 £150
Conservative Lib dem coalition 6.4 £150
Here is my reasoning:
Labour cannot win can they ? They have written off Scotland, a traditional Labour strong hold. And then there is Ed Milliband , imagine that gurning twat sitting opposite someone like like Putin during crisis talks !!! he will get a sock full of pool balls wrapped around his head ! If his brother was at the Helm I would be lumping on , but he isn't .People are very much interested in the personality of those involved and Ed just doesn't cut it , he is a weird looking detached intellectual who cannot eat a sandwich . The polls and the experts who are looking at POLICY and actual COMPETENCE have missed the point in my opinion, they are basing there predication's on everything but Milliband. Also , as we all know, big business runs the establishment and they have already nailed their colours to the mast with conservatives.
Conservatives have sort of saved the economy, in a round about kind of way, that I admit involves penalizing average Joe and still ensuring their pals in the city only have to pay minimal tax. Cameron is a fat cheeked , condescending , privileged buffoon who has probably never got over taking it up the 'wrong un' whilst 'fagging' at Eton. But he does have a certain gravitas when it comes to talking about serious things, like the economy and Trident and of course he seems to be able to eat a sandwich . Also they have more seats and are predicted to take a few losses but should still have enough.
Lib dems are an embarrassment to their own principles and edicts. Clegg has literally sold his soul to the devil for a taste of power. Instead he has been opening branches of pound saver in South Wales whilst Cameron has been holidaying with Saudi princes. Fortunately for him the lib dems are A) Not Scottish and B) Have not got Ed milliband steering the ship .
The rest of the shower of leaders have not got a snowballs chance and they know it. Wee Jimmy Krankie is clearly furious that Ed would rather see conservatives in power than do a deal with her and the SNP and I'm sure that men of a particular age, with union jacks in their back garden who still hark back to the days of the empire when women were not allowed in pubs , will be cheering at any UKIP gain. But lets face it , its between the big two.
