MEADOWXI Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 25 minutes ago, Crossbill said: Wee prediction - Ruth Davidson to try and escape to a safe English Tory seat before her reputation in Scotland is totally destroyed. Davidson is an MSP not an MP so won't be standing anywhere. They as a party are only defending one seat in Scotland. Retain it and they doing no worse, sneak another one somewhere and it the comeback, lose it and it only one seat and don't think they as a party will be overly concerned about not having a seat in Scotland. Think they will still have one after 08/06/17, not necessarily the one they currentyl have but one in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This although I don't see how further emphasizing the ideological differences between Scotland & England will lead to a more unified approach to Brexit. It's an attempt at an absolute power grab by May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I can't see the Tories gaining any grounds in Scotland. It would be utterly, almost erotically glorious if Fluffy got fucking emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction was that she will stand as a MP candidate, with the likely outcome being her resigning from Holyrood if she was successful. She is undoubtedly ambitious and I think it unlikely that she will see being the leader of the Scottish Tories as the pinnacle of her career, but realistically she has nowhere else to go if she stays in Scotland (I'm sure not even the most optimistic Conservatives really believe they can form a government here in the foreseeable future). This GE is almost certainly her best opportunity of getting a foot in the door down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a snap election would be extremely surprised to see her standing in any seat anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This GE is almost certainly her best opportunity of getting a foot in the door down south. Too early for a move south. She will be expected to rally to troops to fight indy and after that whichever way it goes she will get some home counties safe seat as a reward for her loyalty and total lack of morality.

Enigma Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 She might stand in one of those borders steats the SNP won narrowly. I think she'd have a good chance of being elected there. She might hope Mundell looses and bingo she's in the cabinet as Scottish secretary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could stand as an independent? Davidson might well stand as an MP in this one. Sturgeon already has a mandate for Indyref 2, as such I can see them fighting a fairly cautious campaign, no point winding everyone up just now.
