Boris may be right! Watch the bookie

I mentioned in a previous blog that Mayor Boris backs the bookies' judgement on the outcome of the general election

The bookies still predict a Tory overall majority.

The opinion polls currently suggest a national swing which would result in a hung parliament if reproduced at the general election.

However the Tory strategy masterminded by Lord Moneybags Ashcroft is to target marginal seats and in these seats the bookies think the Tories are doing better than in the national polls.

Labrokes is running a book on every seat in the country and is predicting the following result:

Conservatives - 331 seats Labour - 221 seats Lib Dozs - 63 seats

That would translate into a Conservative majority of 12 seats once other parties are added - Northern Ireland and nationalists.
