Bookies’ favourites for October elections Social Democrats

Meanwhile, Novinky.cz reported on Monday that the bookies’ favourites for October’s early elections are Jiří Paroubek’s Social Democrats. Tipsport bookmakers are offering odds of 1.75:1 on a Social Democrat victory, with the Civic Democrats trailing slightly behind, with odds of 1.90:1. According to Tipsport’s Lubomír Ježek, a recent scandal surrounding former Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek’s holiday in Italy has lowered the odds of a Civic Democrat victory.
