Following Theresa May’s surprise decision to call a General Election, Paddy Power has released the latest odds on the proposed June 8th vote.
Mrs May rocked the UK’s political landscape this morning by telling the UK a fresh General Election was needed in less than two months’ time in order to prepare properly for the Britain’s upcoming exit from the European Union.
“Division in Westminster will risk our ability to make a success of Brexit,” said May.
“I have concluded the only way to guarantee certainty and security for the years ahead is to hold this election.”
