The Guardian view on the Conservative conference: Tories should enjoy the moment



he first is that the Tory party will not hesitate to scrutinise and debate the lessons of the May 2015 general election. The second is that the conference already has the election of 2020 in its sights. Neither of these things was remotely true of Labour’s energised gathering in Brighton.



A preoccupation with power has been the hallmark of the Conservative party for nearly two centuries. The 2015 election marked another milestone in that long story. It was the first time the party has won a majority in parliament since 1992.
