In the United Kingdom the party conference season is the period of three weeks in September and October of each year, whilst the House of Commons is in recess, in which the annual political party conferences are held. Political party conferences have traditionally taken place in seaside resorts such as Blackpool, Brighton and Bournemouth, largely due to there being plenty of cheap accommodation available in such towns at the end of the summer holiday season. However, they are increasingly taking place in major cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, with all of the major U.K. political parties' conferences taking place in towns and cities in 2014. There is an unofficial agreement between the parties that they will stagger the timing of their conferences such that media attention be undivided, though smaller parties do not always abide by this rule firmly. In 2012 for example, there was an overlap between the Liberal Democrat and United Kingdom Independence Party annual conferences, with the latter concluding on the opening day of the former, and in 2013 the Liberal Democrat and Green Party of England and Wales conferences overlapped by three days. == 2015 Conference Season == The dates and locations of the 2015 conferences were as follows: *Liberal Democrats - Saturday 19 to Wednesday 23 September at the Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Autumn Conference )〕 *UKIP - Thursday 24 to Saturday 26 September at Doncaster Racecourse Doncaster Racecourse, Doncaster〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doncaster - UKIP )〕 *Green Party - Friday 25 to Monday 28 September at the Bournemouth International Centre, Bournemouth〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conference )〕 *Labour - Sunday 27 to Wednesday 30 September at the Brighton Centre, Brighton〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Annual Conference )〕 *Conservatives - Sunday 4 to Wednesday 7 October at Manchester Central, Manchester〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Conservative Party Conference 2015, Manchester 4-7 October 2015 )〕 *Scottish National Party - Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 October at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, Aberdeen〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SNP National Conference )〕 *Plaid Cymru - Friday 23 - Saturday 24 October at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Aberystwyth〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2015 Conference )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「party conference season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
