Labour’s Eastleigh Odds slashed

John O’Farrell and Labour have been written off by many in Eastleigh – but not by the bookies, as Labour’s odds have been cut from 20/1 down to 8/1 with Ladbrokes. It still looks like a 2-way fight in the seat between the Coalition parties – but if the odds keep on being slashed, could we soon be talking about a three-way marginal on the South Coast?

The current odds for the seat are as follows:

Liberal Democrats 4/5
Conservatives 11/8
Labour 8/1
UKIP 25/1
National Health Action 100/1
