Best odds on a Brexit Party win are now 1/6 with some as short as 1/9. I've never seen anything like that before for any political election anywhere. It's as good as a cast-iron guarantee.

I'm not so sure its cast iron
A lot will be voting soley for hatred of the opposing party
They have every right to vote the way they like, I'm just saying I think itll be a closer result

As a rule the poles aren’t that far out so you’d assume it’s pretty much odds on, hopefully it’s a message to the poison that’s running through our inept stale stagnant main political parties.

Apparently, Momentum has had at least 2,000 activists in the constituency, as well as mobilising 1,000’s of local members. They’ve thrown the kitchen sink plus Owen Jones at this campaign. Can Labour hang on to the seat and stop the Brexit Party bandwagon? I’m with Mary, It could be a close result.

I imagine some of the safer seats are shorter odds, but I tend to agree with you that it's very very very likely to be a Brexit Party win.

Brexit Party rally in Peterborough at 2.00pm tomorrow with Nigel Farage, and another on Tuesday evening at 7.00pm with Annunziata Rees-Mogg and Ann Widdecombe. Annunzi fucking ata. Now there's the name of a woman you just know has the prospects of the working classes close to her heart

Maybe some seats had similarly short odds in the past rip, but not any more. The entire political landscape has changed and nothing can be guaranteed now.

Yes a few pundits have said this that Labour are confident, a loss would have most likely triggered a leadership challenge, funnily enough the only elections Corbyn has won during his time as leader

I think it's because they had a high turnout to leave 60 odd % and the only true leaving party is the Brexit party to help give them what the want and a voice, but looks like Brexit party might have just lost by reports going around, dam

I know it's not connected to the Peterborough by-election (wasn't sure which thread to post it on) but I see the Brexit Party is holding a meeting tomorrow morning in Scunthorpe to present it's "British Steel Strategy". The Brexit Party Chairman, Richard Tice will be joined by John Longworth MEP and former Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, and Simon Boyd of Reid Steel." Tomorrow evening the Brexit Party has another rally in Peterborough ahead of the by-election. That's interesting. John Longworth is one of the new Brexit Party MEPs for Yorkshire & The Humber isn't he? I hope I can read up about this meeting somewhere to see what ideas they have. This shows the party is definitely moving in the right direction by addressing national and regional issues as well as Brexit. I hope there'll be more of that to come. I feel some sympathy towards Nigel who is a military expert of some reputation in certain circles. He won't be able to make it to the D-Day commemorations on Thursday because it will be D-Day in Peterborough. Democracy Day! He fucked off via the back door before the election result was read out.

Are they trying to lose on purpose? No. That really is the best they've got. Maybe someone should remind them that continued with a convicted criminal as an MP, when they should have removed her. It was the people that actually had to do this job of removal for them, such was the anger. Labour don't stand a fucking chance in this seat. Haha.

We could always add up the parties because it's another clear win for Leave. Haha

Disappointing result for the Brexit Party - I'd hoped they would have won after the indications seemed so good. Looks like the Tory vote held better than anticipated but to only lose by 683 is a great effort.
Even so not a bad attempt at all for a party only 8 weeks old, and in a seat that's 201st on the list of target seats.

This result demonstrates that 1: although many people strongly agree with Brexit many others are utterly unconvinced by the pro-Brexit arguments. 2: Brexit is not the be all and all.

No, that's no true at all. The Brexit Party is 6 weeks old, has no grass-roots organisation yet, and had no data or intelligence on where to campaign in the city. The Labour Party is 100 years old and blitzed the town in all the right places. The Brexit Party came extremely close - they did equally as well as the Tories in 2017, so it's clear they have disrupted the two party system and are here to stay. Remember, this by-election wasn't only about Brexit. At the end of the day it's a net gain to Labour of zero.
