2014 Party conferences: coloured balls testing the mood

  • Published

The Daily Politics is testing the mood of the delegates at the Liberal Democrat, Labour and Conservative parties.

For the fifth year running, a few coloured balls and plastic bins - we call them a mood box - are being used in a series of unscientific polls to see what party members think about key issues.

The delegates are asked a question of the day - by Adam Fleming, Giles Dilnot and Eleanor Garnier - and then vote by using their ball and we have a look at the end of the vote to judge the mood of the conference.
