UK election odds, US impeachment timeline and Democratic bets

It’s a pretty big time for politics, and a great time if you like to place a bet or two on some political fortunes. The U.K. goes to the polls today, with a Conservative government almost guaranteed to be returned, but will it be a majority. In the U.S., Trump’s impeachment keeps chugging along with major developments and some of the Democratic presidential candidates are shaking up the polls.

Can BoJo get his majority?

After a tumultuous year of U.K. politics, the British people will finally have their chance to decide if Boris Johnson’s conservatives should be given another vote of confidence, and potentially a majority government to get Brexit done.

The Guardian’s poll tracker suggests Johnson will pull out a win, but the question is by how much. Most polls are predicting a decent Conservative majority, but the most recent polls suggest the race has gotten tighter, soliciting click bait headlines that suggest Labour’s Jeremy Corbin might pull this race off.
