According to latest reports from The Telegraph, a survey suggests that Labour would be the ones to overturn Dorries' 24,664 majority seat that has been held by the Tory party since 1931.
Despite these opinion polls though Labour are the third favourites in the market behind both the Lib Dems and Conservatives to win the by-election whenever that will take place.

| Conservatives | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Labour | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Reform UK | 50/1 | 2.0% |

Nadine Dorries announced on June 9 that she planned to trigger By-Election
Back at the beginning of June, Nadine Dorries confirmed that she would be standing down as a Tory MP with immediate effect although since then she has still not officially resigned.
Dorries has said she will not resign formally until ministers give her answers over why she was snubbed from receiving a peerage in Boris Johnson's honours list.
Campaigning for the Mid Bedfordshire by-election has begun despite Dorries still remaining in the role and it's expected that as soon as she goes that the by-election date will be announced.

By-election betting has grown massively in recent years with such an uncertain time in UK politics seemingly offering up a new by-election taking place constantly.
Betting on by-election's can be researched with opinion polls tending to show who could win the upcoming votes, but these opinion polls do not always show who will win.
By-election's can be held for a number of reasons with resignations the main one used, but they can be put in place also due to death, criminal offences and also bankruptcy.
