Ahead of the Conservative Party conference, John Kampfner asks what it means now to be a Tory, what defines the party & what impact sharing power with the Lib Dems is having. The programme goes beyond Westminster to Sunderland Central and Hexham to meet new Tory voters, disappointed Tories and a new breed of young, MPs who are as much at ease connecting with their constituents via their blogs as their surgeries. How well are they going down with their more traditional supporters? And what will the North East make of the coalition government's cuts? Producer : Rosamund Jones.
