3 Introduction This year sees the Conservative Party meet in Birmingham between the 30 September and the 3 October and will be Theresa May s third since she became party leader and Prime Minister in July The Conference is expected to be one of unprecedented dramatics and clashes as the Party s key players and personalities, along with their faithful supporters, meet to discuss the future of the Conservatives. With Brexit day looming and negotiations set to begin again after conference season ends, it will be the talk of delegates. An ever-divisive topic within amongst Conservatives, exacerbated by the Chequers plan, voices from all sides will undoubtedly wade in to the debate. Many fringe events run by a plethora of stakeholders will also have Brexit as a key theme. The tension created by Brexit, and the splits it has formed within the Party, may also explode in a dramatic display of political maneuvering by the European Research Group and Brexiteers angry at the Chequers deal. Expect the Conservative Party to be looking to the future as well, discussing housing, future policies, campaigning and winning back the ever-elusive youth vote. During her speech, Theresa May will likely be wanting to present a unified and confident cabinet to the media, stamping out the chatter of dissent and a potential leadership challenge that have been doing the rounds in recent months. Expect drama and rumour aplenty in the lead up to the conference. No matter what happens, DeHavilland will be the definitive source for information at the events that matter to you. 2
4 The Rumour Mill Rumours abound ahead of this year's conference with Brexit looming heavy in the air. Many a fringe event will have Brexit as its focus and the cabinet will likely be trying to silence any talk of dissent amongst their ranks. It is not breaking news that the issue of Brexit has caused massive splits within the Conservative Party, with the dissident ERG being a particular thorn in Theresa May s side since the result of the 2016 referendum. In fact, there will be an alternative conference held 10 miles away from the main venue in which Brexiteer heavyweights are set to talk. The Head of the organisers of the event, the Bruges Group, Robert Oulds, said that the Conservative Party conference is no longer for conservatives, adding that there was no longer a role for grassroots members. It is the grassroots of the party that may prove to be hugely problematic for Ms May s leadership. Her Chequers plans have been particularly irksome for many grassroots members who believed in Brexit, as they see it as a cop out of sorts. According to BBC reports, there has been talk of a revolt amongst the grassroots compounded by infiltration by UKIP supporters wanting to influence the future of the party. Boris Johnson is hugely popular with the grassroots and, according to reports, his recent burqa comments further boosted his popularity with Party members. He is a top contender for next leader amongst bookies, commentators, and a recently leaked dossier. Will he launch his leadership bid - with the support of the ERG - during his speech on Tuesday? Indeed, Theresa May s future as Prime Minister will also be a big question at conference. Will she be leaving the month after Brexit day as originally planned? Currently, this seems unlikely as her speech on the Wednesday is called Campaign 2022, meaning that she will likely be presenting the early plan for her election campaign for the next election. The recent hit that she took at the Salzburg summit with the EU27 (coverage of which is summed up here), who rejected her Chequers proposal as unworkable, may have undermined her enough to stop her from continuing past 29 March She will also be looking to stamp out any discussion of a second referendum, or People s Vote, that has been proposed by certain MPs in her party, such as Dominic Grieve and Anna Soubry. Notably, the campaign group Best for Britain, advocates of a second referendum have been refused passes to the conference. This has led to accusations that the Conservatives are attempting to stop their voices from being heard, and Best for Britain will instead be forced to hold a fringe event outside the secure perimeter. The housing crisis is of particular concern, having alienated many younger voters away from the Conservatives in recent elections. Several events, such as How can infrastructure help to deliver housing? and 'Opening doors for the locked-out generation, will aim to address growing fears that the Party are outdated and will be vulnerable in the future without the support of younger voters. There is a clear link that can be drawn between the lack of youth support and the housing crisis, one that Conservative leaders are well aware of. The fringe event Housing policies to promote intergenerational fairness will be but one attempt to overcome the feelings of abandonment that many young people have. Interestingly, Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh will be attending the event to confront the Conservatives on their housing policies. 3
