@traders big limit order up on greens

Maybe I’m just a little out of touch, but I’d be interested to hear why people seem so much more confident about green than reform? I feel I must be missing something as everything I’ve seen has indicated it’s more of a toss-up, especially considering the centre/left vote is likely more split than the right vote?

@JayDH honestly I think the prices here are pretty wacky. I think people seem to have assumed that Labour are going to be wiped out and the Greens will take their mantle and I’ve seen no evidence that this is even slightly likely to happen. IMO a three horse race with Labour and reform closer to the top spot is realistic, but I’ve had a bad month of betting on Labour so I’m not going to try and correct it.

@Noit Okay, pretty much my thoughts as well. I just wondered if I had missed a poll or something but clearly not! Cheers :)

@JayDH as the largest Labour No holder, you're more than welcome to but Yes-es

however I just look at the polls and the approval for the PM. Unless Starmer is out, I don't think he'll win any by-elections. Labour's basically squeezed by the Greens on the left and Reform on the right.

Ben Walker pitching that we're in for a photo finish and that rumours of a clear Green lead amongst the left are bollocks.

All candidates are now confirmed as per the Statement of Persons Nominated and Notice of Poll.

Also, close date updated to close of polls.

Workers Party have said they are not standing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y2lj3md8po

Good writeup from Rob Ford at The Swingometer.

@Noit considerably more insightful than the general national sentiment and vibes from hundreds of miles away. Thanks! Stay safe and do you research, people 😅

Greens look like they're going to have a good go at splitting the anti-reform vote??
