Ruth Davidson to REPLACE Theresa May? Poll reveals Tory is 'best option for Brexit'

7. You are probably right

Though with the Scottish part: it's not so much her being Scottish as such - I don't think there'd be a big problem with a Scottish MP, beyond the fact that even now there aren't that many to choose from - as her establishing her career in the devolved Scottish parliament. Many Tories to this day are suspicious of devolution, and all too ready to suspect the devolved Scottish and Welsh governments of being uppitty: anything that might seem to involve someone from that background *being the boss of* the Home Counties MPs would incite a great deal of harrumphing from the party's Neanderthal wing. Though some might give her a pass for having helped to prevent (so far) Scottish independence. But yes, being as anti-EU as possible has become a sort of religion for the RW Tories; and anyone who sees May as too soft on the EU probably won't accept Davidson.
