Can they still happen if an election is called in September? I know it not the right place per say but its kind of is as long as we don't go down the rabbit hole..

If an election is called for early November there has been alot of talk of it being overlapped with US election which could muddy our waters and talk away important airtime for out talking points.

If they call an election in September, it'd probably be at the Tory party conference. What each party thereafter does in reaction to that is, I guess, up to them. There's no rule that you can't have a conference during an election period but it might not be seen as a great use of critical time - the Sheffield Rally sort of springs to mind although that wasn't a conference, it was widely viewed to be a bit of a PR failure.
