Does not even look at her...Sit Down
Ruth Davidson is an impressive and convincing politician and leader of the opposition at Holyrood. I reckon, in the event of another referendum, she is one the Unionists' side strongest weapons and she will play a leading role, no doubting. She is almost the antithesis of bog standard Tory politician and leader, and she doesn't seem to carry the baggage of the Tory past in Scotland, so reviled by many of the populace.
She could continue to turn around the fortunes of the Scottish Conservative party and one reason NS wants indyref2 so soon is that Ruth is a credible threat to the SNP stranglehold on power in Scotland. She is definitely one to watch really closely.

Holyrood votes in favour of Sturgeon being able to speak to Westminster RE another referendum.
She can speak all she likes but she won't get her way. Perhaps going back to the day job of making Scotland successful might be an idea rather than continuing this fatuous pipe dream. Listened to some SNP MEP on R5 this afternoon.
It was like some kind of key word bulls
t bingo...
Will of the Scottish Parliament
SNP mandate
Will of the Scottish people
62% voted to remain in the EU
And on it went.......
When the interviewer challenged the MEP over what Sturgeon would do in the event of a "NO" from Nay it all went a bit muddled and the argument turned to "the process being hugely undemocratic".
So i think the SNP have shot their only bolt and now realised that they won't get their way and have no further levers to manipulate the situation.....
Oh dear, that's a shame......

Can anybody explain to me why "Now is not the time" for a referendum. Surely the triggering of article 50 means Scotland is leaving the EU and their manifesto didn't say but but but we must wait to see the deal.
May should say OK have a referendum in May.
Nothing has changed yet and nothing will change until the ins and outs of the deal are known. At which point Scotland can have a referendum on leaving or not with the actual knowledge of what will happen rather than just Wee Krankie drumming up fear of hard tory brexit. May should say OK have a referendum in May.
