The next General Election isn't due until January 2025 so it may well be another couple of years at least until we see the next election take place in the UK. An early election may well be called but that's usually chosen by the Prime Minister and it's doubtful that Rishi Sunak will want to do that. Bookies say that Labour will win the most seats at the next General Election with odds given of 1/2 that they do so. Smarkets give a 66.7% chance of it happening with Labour expected to have a big chance of gaining massively at the next General Election.

Bookmakers Shorten Rishi Sunak to Win the Next General Election

As Chancellor, one would expect Rishi Sunak to be in the news a great deal, and this weekend is no exception as details of granted planning permission for his home are in the news. Whilst that may be completed in the short term, Sunak can look forward to bookmakers' confidence that he is most likely to be Conservative leader and the next prime minister at some point from 2024 onwards if the correct betting odds probabilities are accurate.

Next Prime Minister Betting Candidates

Sir Keir Starmer

Sir Keir Starmer could be heading to Number 10 if the bookmakers have their betting odds correct. 

It is not so much what he has achieved but more the infighting within the Tory party that has made him the odds-on favourite to be our next Prime Minister.

Whilst chaos has reigned within the cabinet and on the Conservative backbenchers, the Member for Holborn & St Pancras has kept a dignified distance, making him look like the adult in the room. 

He will have challenges as he tries to appeal to disillusioned voters whose trust in politicians is at an all-time low, and as opposed to just reacting to the Government he will have to set out his vision and his party's policies. 

In February 2023 the Labour leader did set out aims. 

.

Labour Aims

• Secure the highest sustained growth in the G7 by the end of a Labour first term.
• Make Britain a clean energy superpower.
• Build an NHS fit for the future.
• Make Britain’s streets safe and tackle violence against women and girls.
• Break down barriers to opportunity for every child by reforming childcare and education

Rishi Sunak 

Can the newish Prime Minister rally the Tory troops?

It will be 14 years that the Conservatives have been in power if the General Election is held in 2024, and as a party they may just have run out of steam and ideas. 

The 80-seat majority that Boris Johnson won in 2019 made the Conservatives complacent and they made a host of rash poorly received decisions

Add in a media that needs to find controversy in every bulletin, especially for a long-term incumbent (The Tories) and Rishi Sunak will need to be a man for all seasons.
