		Conservative Central Office (CCO) is the headquarters of the British Conservative Party, housing its central staff and committee members.
		This was the scene of many televised historic moments in Conservative history from Margaret Thatcher's victory rallies to Iain Duncan Smith's resignation.
		CCO moved in 2004 to nearby 25 Victoria Street, London for more high-tech facilities.

		Conservatives are also generally opposed to devolution to the regions of the UK, prefering a unitary centralised state.
		Conservative modernisers point to Afriyie's election as evidence that the party is changing, though opponents argue that the election of a single fl MP in what is essentially a safe seat doesn't count for much against the anti-immigration campaign fought by the Conservatives in 2005.
		Though Thatcher herself was socially conservative, her supporters harbour a range of social opinions from the liberal views of Michael Portillo to the traditional conservatism of William Hague and David Davis.

		Central Office disapproved of the selection of Robert Boothby, an independently minded Conservative MP; and Transport House, Labour Party headquarters, was displeased with the choice of Michael Foot, then a maverick left winger (eventually Labour Party leader, 1980-83).
		It appears that Central Office spent some time considering the best format for this broadcast, and eventually came to the conclusion that Eden should be "interviewed" by Lesley Mitchell, a well known professional television personality with Conservative sympathies.
		First, besides Woolton (born in 1883), most top Central Office officials were considerably younger than the party leaders and consequently they were likely to be less hidebound in their views regarding political strategy and were also more willing to experiment to ensure that the party's propaganda message was transmitted to a wide audience.

		Second, during this decade political broadcasting was conducted within certain agreed rules and Central Office had to interact with a single broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which had the monopoly over radio and television transmission in the UK.
		It will be argued that the relationship between Conservative headquarters and the BBC was integral to the development of Central Office's broadcasting strategies, while at the same time promoting the politicisation of television.
		Conservative headquarters had taken this position because they were not interested in extending the boundaries of political debate.

		Nobody at Central Office asked whether she wanted to see the leader or pleaded with her to stay on as a candidate.
		Second: somebody at Central Office actually had the thoughtlessness to call the angry and aggrieved candidate and ask if she was willing to pay for re-printing the ballot papers - even though it was the manipulation of this ballot process which had forced her resignation in the first place.

		After her fall from office in 1990, however, central office became associated with the party's descent into near anarchy.
		The move from central office came as senior Conservatives made clear that Mr Howard will not be abandoning all of Mr Duncan Smith's legacy.

		The Conservative Party Archive (CPA) was established as a source for academic research at the Bodleian Library, Oxford in 1978.

		Sadly many records were lost during the wars, and a number of moves by Central Office since led to the destruction of still more, particularly from the period before 1939.

		A Conservative council leader has disowned his party's adverts making a link between the cost of asylum and rises in council tax.
		The ads were placed in a series of local newspapers last week and put the total money spent by local councils since 1997 next to the increase in council tax over the same period.
		The Conservatives defend the ads by arguing that if central government did not have to refund councils it could give them the money in grants to spend on services or use to cut council tax.

		CCO is not a political organisation but a political election machine, I think Saatchi has a chance of getting that point into their heads.
