Can the bookies tell us who will be the next prime minister? Some pundits swear by the idea the betting markets are a stronger indicator of an upcoming election's outcome than any polling. The survey results come as leaders embark on week two of the federal election campaign. Trudeau is spending the day in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, having made marquee promises of a massive expansion of child care and parental benefit programs. He’s promising to more for seniors of he’s made Prime Minister again.
TORONTO – Day eight of the federal election campaign is underway, but it appears the results of two polls done on voter sentiment are at odds with one another.
The two polls appear to show voters are conflicted about whether a change is needed in Ottawa.
On the one hand, a poll conducted by Ipsos finds that Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is still the top pick among voters for prime minister with 37 per cent support. The best choice for the job, according to about 30 per cent of voters, is Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May saw 14 per cent support, while the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh saw 10.
On the other hand and according to another poll for DART Insight and Communications, 51 per cent of Canadians say it’s time for change in government.
The DART survey finds just 27 per cent of voters believe the Liberals should be re-elected.
Week two begins
The survey results come as leaders embark on week two of the federal election campaign.
Trudeau is spending the day in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, having made marquee promises of a massive expansion of child care and parental benefit programs.
He’s promising to more for seniors of he’s made Prime Minister again.
“A re-elected Liberal government will increase old age security by an extra ten per cent once folks turn 75,” he said.
Scheer spent the last week announcing a range of tax credits targeted at helping families, but today he is in and around Toronto, speaking on what he calls wasteful business subsidies.
“We can save Canadian taxpayers at least 1.5 billion dollars every year, ” he says.
The day began with a promise from the New Democrat leader, who said an NDP government would extend full public dental coverage to households making less than $70,000 a year.
“There’s 4.3 million Canadians that don’t have access to dental services,” Singh said. “Have no coverage, public or private. We know that one-in-three Canadians have no coverage at all. This is a serious concern. Cost of living is going up, it’s harder and harder to make ends meet.”
Promises on the campaign trail today…
NDP: Full dental coverage for low income Cdns
Liberals: Increase Old age Security by 10% for those 75 & older. Boost CPP survivor's benefit by 25%
Conservatives: cut $1.5-billion in 'corporate welfare' #elxn43#cdnpoli

Singh said on Wednesday morning that his plan would be a first step toward including dentistry in public health care for all Canadians.
Meantime, May will be in Vancouver, after her party released its national platform earlier this week. It’s a document she said seeks to show that all national policy must now be considered as a means to respond to the current climate emergency.
People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier, who’s in New Brunswick today, saw new life given to his campaign with word that he’ll have a spot at the officially sanctioned leaders’ debates scheduled for early October.

While what’s currently going on is far from a political matter, all eyes are on the Prime Minister as he does his utmost to protect the British public. It will, and is ultimately influencing who could take the keys to Number 10 when it comes to the next election. Odds on the next Prime Minister are always available with major bookmakers such as William Hill and Paddy Power and they make for an interesting read at present. Below you’ll find the latest Next Prime Minister betting odds from some of the top bookmakers around. Who will be the next PM? Find here how to bet on the Next Prime Minister!
The coronavirus outbreak has seen the government spend billions in order to combat the crisis and ensure those unable to work still have the income to be able to live.
As the lockdown begins to be lifted, and Britain looks to get back on its feet once again, there will be a root and branch analysis both from within and from the man/woman on the street which could have a huge sway on the next General Election.
Throughout the crisis, there has been large swings in the odds on the next Prime Minister. Chancellor Rishi Sunak saw his price fall to as short as 3/1 following the unveiling of his financial measures to tackle the coronavirus crisis. In the press conference, Mr. Sunak stated the government would do “whatever it takes” to shore up British businesses and citizens.
A General Election could seemingly be forced through at any time over the coming months and years, and for us punters that means the chance to bet on the next Prime Minister.

Study our guide to find all you need to know about the market, including how to play it and which bookmakers offer next Prime Minister betting.
What Is Next Prime Minister Betting?
Betting on the Next Prime Minister is relatively simple concept to understand and is a wager on the person you believe will take over the keys at 10 Downing Street.
The market is offered by a number of bookies and works in the same way you’d bet on the next manager of a club in football betting or any outright bet on the market.
This will usually exclude the current Prime Minister, so in this instance you wouldn’t be able to bet on Boris Johnson. If Johnson was to run in the next election and win, the odds you’d bet on would still be in play until a new leader took charge of the country.
How To Place A Next Prime Minister Bet
Placing a bet on the Next Prime Minister market is as simple as betting on any other futures market and can be done in a few simple steps.
You’ll find the market within the Politics or Specials section of a bookmakers site and the market will include a list of Politicians and their odds on becoming the next PM.
All you need to do is then select the person you wish to bet on and place your bets...
- Log in or sign up to an online bookmaker
- Head to the Next Prime Minister odds
- Select the Politician you wish to bet on
- Enter your stake in your betslip and place your bet
One thing to be aware of is the market is based upon the next permanent Prime Minister and doesn’t take into account Acting Prime Minister roles.
So for example, if Theresa May stepped down from the role as PM and Michael Gove temporary stood in while an election for the next Tory leader was held, you wouldn’t receive a payout for Gove unless he was then made the permanent Prime Minister.
Next Prime Minister Favorites
Keir Starmer - 7/4
The new Labour leader has impressed many during his campaign to be elected the leader of the party and is now favourite to take the top job at 7/4 with William Hill.
The MP for Holborn & St Pancras is a former human rights barrister and was very much on the side of Remain during the EU Referendum.
He’s struck a chord with many Labour voters and is tipped to do much the same when it comes to the next election, something which Corbyn failed to do.
The bookies expect a closer run race next time out and Starmer could be worth a punt with such odds.
Rishi Sunak - 4/1
Rishi Sunak is second favourite to be the next Prime Minister after Boris Johnson thanks to the way he is handling his role as Chancellor of the Exchequer at present.
He’s received high praise from many people across the country as he controls the nation’s finances during this period.
In fact, such is the impression the Conservative has left, his odds were slashed from 200/1 to favourite at 5/2 with William Hill at one point, although Starmer has now leapfrogged him.
Dominic Raab - 16/1
Much further from the leading two contenders is Dominic Raab who is at 12/1 with Paddy Power.
The First Secretary of State is playing a key part in how the Conservatives are dealing with COVID-19 and he’s also seen a shift in odds with the bookmakers due to this.
Raab is the highest ranked member of the Cabinet and essentially operates as Boris Johnson’s second in command at present. At odds of 16/1 he could well be worth a punt to fill Boris’ boots should Johnson step down at any point.
Michael Gove - 12/1
Michael Gove’s odds have risen in the last few weeks and is the current Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office. He’s served many more roles as part of the Conservative government and will be one of the main contenders should the party seek a new leader.
He currently lies ahead of the likes of Jeremy Hunt, Matt Hancock and Priti Patel, none of whom have shone themselves in any great light over the last few months.
Jeremy Hunt - 20/1
Jeremy Hunt has fallen well down the pecking order in the last few months and it would be a huge turnaround should he get the top job.
Hunt has drifted to 20/1 with Paddy Power and is currently the Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee after leaving his role as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs.
An outside shot for sure and with intense scrutiny in the media often coming his way, it could be a bet that certainly isn’t worth making.
The Other Contenders
