Blackpool South MP Scott Benton has been found to have broken lobbying rules and the standards watchdog has recommended a 35-day suspension:
This could lead to a by-election in a the very interesting “red wall” seat of Blackpool South.
Will a by-election take place before the next general election?
If a by-election takes place, the market will resolve to YES
If Parliament is dissolved for a general election before any by-election is announced, the market will resolve to NO
If a by-election is announced but cancelled because Parliament has been dissolved for a general election, this market resolves to NO
