Conference fringe meetings featuring representatives from the Republican and Democratic parties drew capacity crowds. Tory MPs who had traveled to the conventions in Denver and Minneapolis gave starry-eyed accounts of the proceedings. Francis Maude, a member of the shadow cabinet, described himself as having been "one of Obama's 85,000 close friends in Denver" - but refused to reveal his personal preference for U.S. President...
