Why Use Prediction Markets for UK Politics?
Traditional political betting uses bookmakers — which means your "odds" include a built-in margin (overround) of 5-15%. Prediction markets use a peer-to-peer order book: no house, no margin, and prices reflect genuine aggregate probability estimates from thousands of traders with money at stake.
During the 2024 UK general election campaign, Polymarket's Labour majority probability remained above 85% throughout — even when individual polls showed tighter races. The final result (Labour 412 seats) aligned closely with what CLOB prices implied. Prediction markets were more accurate than any single pollster.

Where can I bet on UK elections without a bookmaker?
PolyGram mirrors Polymarket's CLOB and gives UK traders access to political prediction markets — no bookmaker, no house edge, 0% fees. Prices reflect crowd-sourced probabilities, not bookmaker margins.
How accurate are prediction markets for UK elections?
Prediction markets have consistently outperformed polls on UK elections. In 2024, Polymarket's Labour seat count estimate was closer to the actual result than most polling aggregators by election night.
Can I trade UK election markets without KYC?
Yes, for smaller amounts. PolyGram does not require KYC for deposits below £500 equivalent. For larger positions, identity verification is required.
What UK election markets are currently live?
Current markets include: next UK general election date, Labour seat count ranges, Conservative party leadership, Keir Starmer approval rating thresholds, and SNP seat counts.
How do prediction market prices compare to betting odds?
Prediction market prices (0.00–1.00) directly represent probabilities. Bookmaker odds include a margin (overround). A Polymarket price of 0.65 (65% YES) is roughly equivalent to 13/20 odds, but without the bookmaker margin embedded.
When does the next UK general election have to be called?
Under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, the next UK general election must be held by 2 May 2029 at the latest (five years after the 2024 election). However, the Prime Minister can call an election earlier by requesting dissolution from the King.
