British people love politics. They love to talk about it in the pub, be actively engaged in it, and… bet on politics. The best political betting website out there is undoubtedly PoliticalBetting.com, Mike Smithson‘s blog about political betting markets. As a former Liberal Democrat politician and a BBC News journalist, few people have the experience that qualifies someone to be an expert on political betting more than him. He’s also the “33rd most influential over-50 on Twitter in 2014”, according to the Daily Telegraph. He also wrote a superb book “The Political Punter: How to Make Money Betting on Politics“, a must-read for anyone wanting to take a punt on politics.
