In the wake of May’s general election, the 2015 party conference season has seen the Conservatives consolidate their plans for the next five years of majority rule whilst opposition parties set out their stall to mount a challenge in the 2020 contest. We sat down with Professor Tony Travers to discuss the key talking points from the conferences, as well as the race to be London Mayor.
