Betting on the Lib Dems

Ladbrokes today updates its odds for the inevitable Lib Dem leadership race, and – irritatingly for the Tories – Nick Clegg is the clear frontrunner. Some odds:

Nick Clegg 4/5

Chris Huhne 3/1

David Laws 8/1

Ed Davey 10/1

Simon Hughes 12/1

Charles Kennedy 16/1

Alistair Carmichael 16/1

Vincent Cable 16/1

Lembit Opik 16/1

Paddy Ashdown 25/1

Gabriela Irimia 500/1 Of the above, I suspect the Cheeky Girl would do quite well. But it is their funeral….
