Petition Prohibit gambling on the timing and/or outcome of elections

Ban gambling based on the timing or outcome of any political election. As a minimum this should include UK general elections and parliamentary by-elections. We think British democracy should not be a source of profit for gamblers – or for the companies who facilitate these bets.
