Yes, Virginia, BetFair does organize socially valuable prediction markets in UK politics.

Mike Smithson’s effort is paying off. Here are the BetFair political prediction markets:

Cabinet Exit Dates

  • Chancellor
  • Foreign Secretary
  • Home Secretary

Cabinet Specials

  • Next Chancellor
  • Next Foreign Secretary
  • Next Home Secretary
  • Next Prime Minister

Next General Election

The prediction exchanges (betting exchanges) that organize the most socially valuable prediction markets are InTrade and PopSci PPX, I would say.
