I think she'd be brilliant! Anyone else reckon it might happen?

I think she's a really normal and hard working person. I think she'd do us proud.

She wanted another referendum once terms of Brexit were agreed

She started her demands almost immediately. It was blatant , self serving opportunism. Funny you talk about obsession- that seems to sum up Nats exactly. Maniacal and monomaniacal.

Still it was lovely to see Salmond getting the boot.

Utterly bizarre that he would resort to a Jacobite quote as his parting quip.

You do know about the Jacobites I assume? Undemocratic, believed in the Divine Right of Kings and absolute monarchy ; would have been a disaster for Scotland if either of their misguided campaigns had succeeded.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 11/06/2017 04:03

Shes a horrible arrogant woman IMO

Sturgeon certainly is.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 04:03

Yes, wanting a referendum is so undemocratic Hmm

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 04:04

Well if you are going to resort to immature twisting (the OP was about Ruth) I feel you have lost the argument.

Goodnight. Flowers

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 11/06/2017 04:06

Yes, wanting a referendum is so undemocratic

It kind of is if you lie about the first one being "once in a lifetime" without mentiong you meant the generation of drosophila.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 04:07

Maybe you are Ruth? Wink

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 11/06/2017 04:10

Well if you are going to resort to immature twisting (the OP was about Ruth) I feel you have lost the argument.

Calling Ruth a horrible arrogant woman is fine ? But not Sturgeon? It wasn't much of an argument in the first place but you think it applies to Ruth. I don't . I Sturgeon it applies to Sturgeon.

I'm sorry I think those of you in England or outside the central belt may be unaware that Davidson has courted the support of Uniounist in Scotland who are aligned with the DUP and their ilk. To now be outraged at a coalition with this mob is pure hypocrisy on her part. It seems it's ok to get their vote or have them as councillors in Scotland

*What a load of tosh.

The Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties are all unionist parties. None of them are aligned with the DUP*

You misunderstand when I say Unionist I am not talking about them in the terms you refer to. I'm talking about the orange order type of unionist who are alive and well and we're out marching yesterday in Glasgow. It is those kind of people who are linked to the type of people in the DUP. Encouraging this and you dabble with intensifying sectarianism across the central belt of Scotland. Davidson has gone after there vote here and is a hypocrite to complain about their brothers on steroids Unionists.

Seniorcitizen1 · 11/06/2017 16:28

Davidson supports the rape clause and all the other welfare cuts and austerity programme. In the GE she only spoke about the independence referendum - too scared to mention the Tory policies. She is as odious as all other Tories

MrsPorth · 11/06/2017 17:43

I'm a floating voter and she'd get my vote. She's one of the best assets the party has.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 17:49

She's a rude woman

dementedma · 11/06/2017 18:45

I've met her and she's not rude at all. Very friendly and witty.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 18:45

Sorry but I think telling your opponents to "shut up and sit down" is rude

MrsJayy · 11/06/2017 18:50

Ruth Davidson is an Msp and leader of the opposition in Scotland she isn't an Mp she isfab thoughi really like her and keep forgettingshe is a tory

dementedma · 11/06/2017 19:20

She didn't say shut up. She said " Oh, sit down!" after several rude interruptions by the FM.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 19:22

Oh sit down also rude.

I find her general manner rude.

It is allowed.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/06/2017 19:23

Getting your facts wrong Finally?

Vicina · 11/06/2017 20:00

I like what I see of her and she's greatly improved the image of the Conservatives in Scotland, but she's hasn't been first minister of Scotland and might be completely out of her depth in UK politics.

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 20:01

miaow

MrsJayy · 11/06/2017 20:03

Ruth Davidson was mighty pissed off at the DUP palava she tweeted about it and as she has a girlfriend i dont think she courted the dup

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 11/06/2017 20:04

Clearly one is not allowed to diss the almighty ruth

misskelly · 11/06/2017 20:11

Ruth Davidson was mighty pissed off at the DUP palava she tweeted about it and as she has a girlfriend i dont think she courted the dup

No, but she courted their brethren in Scotland. Possibly without considering she might get stuck with the DUP.

PetraDelphiki · 11/06/2017 20:18

She would be great ...and I believe you don't have to be an MP to be PM (but you might then need to be in the lords)...

trixymalixy · 12/06/2017 09:41

I'm Scottish and not a Tory but I really admire Ruth. I just wish she'd switch to Labour.....
