Most years the emphasis is on "party". These vernal political get-togethers tend to be sociable rather than agenda setting; old pals meeting up for a blether. A pie and a pint in the Pillars Bar, if you happen to be conferencing over the road at the Caird Hall in Dundee, would usually take priority over plotting or, heaven forbid, party policy.
