Never was such a word so true. The UK election this morning brought out a true hung parliament where only a coalition amongst truly minor parties can bring a majority government.

Anyhow, one of the most active markets overnight was the ‘No overall majority’ market which traded just over \u00a39m, a really decent total for a non sports market. I have attached a graph of the movements from 22:00 to 05:00 when the market effectively ended. Some really nice swings when the early results came in.<\/p>\n
