Tory Party activists have been gathering for their spring conference in Brighton, the last nationwide meeting before the start of the general election campaign.
The two-day spring conference comes at a time when support for the Tories has fallen dramatically; last year they looked unassailable but recent polls have suggested that their lead over Labour is narrowing.
On the eve of the conference, it was revealed that the Tories’ election slogan will be “vote for change”. This message is likely to be central to David Cameron’s main speech on Sunday.
Labour will use the Tory conference as an opportunity to launch a new poster attacking the shadow chancellor George Osborne.
This weekend, the Labour party is releasing more pre-election campaign material. An image of shadow chancellor George Osborne is accompanied by the slogan “Chancer not Chancellor”.
The Liberal Democrats say only they offer a change to the existing way of conducting politics.
The Leader of Liberal Democrat’s Chief of Staff, Danny Alexander said: the election was not a choice between Mr Brown and Mr Cameron.
“It’s between the old way of doing politics and the real change represented by the Liberal Democrats.
“For people who want real change, real fairness in Britain there is only one choice: the Liberal Democrats. Labour has totally failed to make Britain fairer, and the Tories can’t be trusted to do.”
