Once she does that, she can hand over to a competent successor (hopefully David Davis), and this should place the Tories in a strong position heading into the next GE. Ruth Davidson's role in all this is clearly defined - help May achieve all of the above while continuing to run rings around the SNP. I like Ruth but she needs to keep a level head and not make things hot for her own party.

Ms Davidson has clearly allowed herself to be persuaded by her admirers that she has single handedly turned things around for the tories in Scotland and saved the government from a disaster of it's own making. All she has actually done is profit from a backlash against la sturgeon. She may continue to do that in the future. However, as you rightly point out, she can take nothing for granted.<br /><br />It appears to me that there is very wide spread public discontent across the Western world and the long established political models may be modified or even swept away. I think there is likely to be unprecedented turmoil and uncertainty for some time to come,<br /><br />Happily, here in the UK, we are better placed than many to ride out the storm. God bless the English channel.<br /><br />Auld JockAuld Jocknoreply@blogger.com
