Wipeout. Noun. An instance of being destroyed or overwhelmingly defeated.
It’s a word that’s been banded about in the same breath as the Conservatives since UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak opted to call an early General Election for Thursday, July 4.
Anyone talking about a potential Tory wipeout normally references Canada ’93 – a historic election in the North American nation in which the ruling Progressive Conservative Party were reduced from 156 seats to just two.
Will the Conservatives suffer a similar fate to their Canadian counterparts more than 30 years ago? The latest Conservative Party Seats odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app.

It’s fair to say the polls are looking pretty dire for the Tories and they are generally about 20 percentage points behind Labour in the polls.
If those numbers come to fruition on election day then Sunak and co are in big, big trouble.
The fact the UK continues to persist with the First Past The Post voting system means they could be looking at a tiny number of seats in relation to the total number of votes they bag across the nation.
A range of 50-99 is the favourite in our Conservative Party Seats betting market which would put the Conservatives in danger of slipping to third-party status behind the Liberal Democrats.
100-149 is rated as the next most likely outcome by Paddy’s political traders from 0-49 which would be proper wipeout territory.
