unicornnews: PR interest in Tory Conference up

It’s not really all that surprising to hear, but new research by ComRes has confirmed there is an increasing interest in the lobbying sector to connect with the Tories as we head into party conference season. According to the research, 79% of those lobbyists surveyed said they planned to attend the Tory conference in Manchester next month, up from 72% in a similar pre-conference survey last year; while 72% said they planned to visit the Labour party conference in Brighton this month, down from 74% last year.

According to Public Affairs News, ComRes say the results of this year’s pre-conference survey show a ‘noticeable shift’ towards investment in lobbying the Tories, which presumably suggests the public affairs community are increasingly expecting a new government to be in power by this time next year, led by David Cameron.
