A Party Leaders speech l usually does a couple of things, tries to enthuse the activists in the whole who have spent the last few days debating policy and looking to the next General Election, so we will hear a bit of that from him, and he will say it is theirjob to bring the blue wall, the conservative held seats they would like to win, to bring the wall tumbling down. But there is also the job of the party leader in a speech like this to speak beyond the whole and speak to voters at home and what we are going to hearfrom ed davey is more about health, a Key Policy Area we have run throughout the conference, and he will draw the link between health care and the economy and he will say you cant grow the economy when you have millions of people who are locked out of the Labour Market through ill health or stuck on Waiting Lists so he will make the clear link and say that the Liberal Democrats will make health and care a key part of rebuilding the economy.

That is a question that has been asked a lot over the weekend, what might happen after an election because he has said he would not work with the conservatives after an election but he is not at the same about labour but he will not be drawn on that. The line is it is disrespectful to the voters to start considering that and they have got to start by winning seats in the first place, and i have got with me christine jardine, the liberal democrat mp for edinburgh west.
