Otley is of course part of the Leeds North West constituency, made up of Otley, Adel, Yeadon, Headingley and Weetwood.

As the General Election looms - not yet called but required to take place before June 3rd, and probably on May 6th to coincide with various local elections - it's interesting to see that Ladbrookes is already offering odds on the outcome in each constituency, as is William Hill.

Current running at Ladbrookes is LibDems at 4/6 favourites; Conservatives with an outside chance of taking the seat at 7/4; and Labour already dismissed at 6/1.

William Hill has similar but not identical odds, with the LibDems at 8/13; Conservatives at 7/4 again; and Labour also dismissed as 13/2 outsiders.

It's interesting that the bookies are confident enough of the outcome of a General Election that hasn't even been called yet to offer odds on the outcome seat by seat. The question is...do you think they've called it right?
