Bookmakers William Hill are offering odds of 6/1 on Alex Salmond to be named as a Minister in the next Government.
Salmond has been installed as 1/8 favourite to win the Gordon constituency for the SNP at the General Election and Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe explained: “Mr Salmond is a formidable politician who would not take on a constituency he didn’t expect to win, and with the SNP likely to end up with 25 or more seats their chances of being involved in a coalition government are realistic.”
Salmond is the 1/8 favourite to claim the Gordon seat with the current holders of the seat, Lib Dems priced at 9/2, Tories 25/1, Labour 33/1 and Ukip 100/1.
