Davidson gives the illusion of control but knows her MPs in Scotland do not respect her. Her role is to maintain the fury of the poor, ignorant ranting Loyalists. A group shunned by the old Tories, they went to Labour but talked a good UKIP game. Now they know they are valued (but probably despised) by Davidson.
The SNP too often allow the response of but Scotland voted ‘No’. Ruth Davidson is now repeating that mantra with no room for discussion or acknowledgement of the changing landscape. She is demob happy and ready to disappear after delivering her baby and a resounding endorsement of May.
We are entering a truly authoritarian nightmare where the Tories have cut us off from EU allies and are wiping away our identity. Gerrymandering of boundaries and ineffective electoral scrutiny indicates a Tory government for the next 20 years unless we get out soon. I have joked about being frightened but I am genuinely afraid of what life my children will have from now on.
