Betfair Launch General Election Hub
5th March, 2010
One of the UK’s largest online betting companies, Betfair, has joined forces with ComRes a leading polling and research company to provide the most up to date predictions on the UK General Election race.
The site will provide the latest polling data and market information across a range of political topics that include the overall composition of the House of Commons, the likelihood of a hung parliament, in addition to individual constituency results.
Furthermore, the website will offer innovative tools for news portals, websites and bloggers. Commentators will be able to customise the tools in order to provide a bespoke and insightful reference for users. There will be even more functions added closer to the election.
ComRes CEO Andrew Hawkins said: "The partnership with Betfair will add a new and unique source of information for anyone interested in the latest election predictions.
"We want to ensure that the hints of any upset - be it nationally or at a constituency level - are immediately obvious, and that is what this new prediction hub will offer."
Betfair spokesman Mike Robb added: "We are delighted to have formed this partnership with one of the country's most respected polling companies, something that will allow us to provide an unrivalled source of prediction for the General Election."
