credible, authoritative, genuinely "strong", probably saved the conservatives in this election....

I really like her. But I don't think it's possible.

May will have to go at some point soon. Who to replace her with? Not Gove, Hammond, Johnson, Rudd, Greening, et al. Why not Ruth Davidson? She seems a better prospect.

I'd love Ruth to be PM.....did Rudd keep her seat?

Report

Butterbean212 · 09/06/2017 12:02

I thought because she was a member of Scottish Parliament as opposed to House of Commons?

But she's an MSP not an MP, isn't she?
So I guess that rules her out.

You are welcome to her. I have watched many hours of her rhetoric at Holyrood.
She is a snarly, angry, sneering vindictive woman.

Her that defended the rape clause? I don't think so.

Ruth as PM would make working with the anti LGBT DUP harder work (which can be no bad thing!)

Rudd kept her seat with a reduced majority.

Yep she's not eligible as she's not an MP. Brilliant leader though.

On a side note to address kalinka, the most SNP representatives voted in favour of this so-called 'rape clause' before labelling it and attacking it in the press. Just another reason to be glad they're on the way out!

Actually sorry that last point was a bit tangential. Please ignore me, post-election fatigue has set in!

You're more than welcome to her. She's a really awful politician, vacillating and weak and if you listen to her, completely unable to say anything other than No to Indyref2. (Which I agree with, but thats another issue.)

The Tories gained seats on Scotland due to the short-sighted pursuit of indyref2, not because Ruth Davidson is any great shakes.

Ah, the rape apologist Davidson. Nasty and sneery sums her up.

Huge girl crush on Ruth here. Been stalking following her on FB for years. Wish it was possible OP.

Re the "rape clause", did Nicola sturgeon actually do anything about it? Or just talk about how bad it was.

YoungGirl I've met her. She's just lovely! Smile

One of my friends was her partner for 5 years. You wouldn't put them together at all!

We keep trying to get her spill some juicy gossip in the pub, but she keeps Totally quiet.......... very frustrating!

Yes user because all lesbians look the same. Did you join just to share your homophobic misogyny? Not really going to get much of an audience for it here. Try UKIP.com

You are more than welcome to her. She has courted the orange order and stood shoulder to shoulder with some vile characters during this election campaign preferring to stir up hatred than campaign on positive policy. How she can sleep at night when her party have just gone into partnership with a party that hates her very existence is beyond me.
