The Conservative Party conference in Birmingham has revealed an unexpectedly upbeat atmosphere among members despite recent electoral defeat. With a leadership contest underway, candidates are vying for support while reflecting on Labour's early struggles in government. The party faces challenges in regaining lost voter support from both the right and centrist factions.
The Conservative Party recently suffered a significant defeat in the general election, leading to a leadership contest among four candidates: Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, Robert Jenrick, and Tom Tugendhat. The conference serves as a platform for these candidates to connect with party members and strategize for future elections.
