Tory conference: What to expect from Birmingham and why does it matter?

This weekend, beating train delays and cancellations from Euston in England, Trinidad and Westminster supporters headed for a trip to the Midlands.

Walking on the labyrinth above the Swan International Conference Centre (ICC), the right parties gathered for an event that promises to open the crushing results of the election and freeze the combination of the past 14 years of domination and - in fact, more importantly - the origins of the Renaissance.

The leadership of the conference for some number of modest mottos "evaluation and perestroika" is made clear by the message of Rishi Sunak - who does not appear on the important stage, including not participating in the entire composition at the event describing the past year as "difficult" and "disappointing".

But for now the favorite goes to the second project, whether this year's conference has the ability to freeze through factors when the well-known "no bill" speech of the modernizing successor David Cameron will appear?

For the four leadership candidates, the race is already on absolute course, but there are guaranteed to be some decent days of freezing at the necessary turning points on the way to victory or elimination.

Top job jostling

The four of them - Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverley, Robert Jenrick and Die Tugendhat - are drinking and visiting all sorts of events and ways to try to spell more than the club members and get more votes.

Huge posters with their faces are plastered all over the building, which has a Starbucks and a Subway and is incomparable to the middle of a local shopping centre in terms of feeling.

Towards the right day, each candidate will observe the role in an interview, then a Q& A with the audience, and on Wednesday comes a 20-minute speech.

This moment on the main stage puts them just 12 votes behind the Jenrick group favourite, who received 33 votes, with Clover and Tugendhat in third place with 21 votes behind them.

To greatly increase the chances of a repeat of 2012, the organizers are deliberately structuring the event this year as well.

Can "anyone" (please don't be offended) arrange for the race to be turned upside down?

‘Untenable’ that average Conservative voter is 63 years old, Mel Stride admits

Wooing the young

If there is a major defeat on the Fourth of July this year, the center of attention will be the party's need to talk to itself.

The task of the Labor Party was to chat with the nation, but reflected outside with letters of hope, and constantly looking in the mirror with a limited party for a long time.

Many panels were arranged to examine "why we lost" or "what went wrong", the main focus of the convention program.

One of these factors is that the age of the voters during the transition period is rising. The average age of those who vote for the Conservative Party, not the Labor Party, has risen to the age of 63.

As a former conservative adviser and now Sanktank Chairman Robert Corville said at the Policy Research Center (CPS) event, he said, "It's a strange and under 50 years old. That is very strange. "

Including young people, frankly incorporating middl e-aged people and peeling off "strange" labels, will be an important base for Tortoise to succeed in the election coalition. < SPAN> One of these factors is that the age of "voters in the migration period" is rising. The average age of those who vote for the Conservative Party, not the Labor Party, has risen to the age of 63.
