More4 News looks at the lobbyists now swarming around the Tory conference - the markets may be sinking, but for some the champagne corks are still popping.

Opinion polls tell us the public may vote Tory in large numbers - but have they truly won the public over?

Never mind the floating votes, do the Tories float your boat? That's the question we're asking this week here at the Conservative conference.
