@codownni - Yes, excellent you have summed him up better in one word!

revival? The conservatives in scotland are seen as ...traitors.. to scotland and has been since Thatcher. A closet homosexual and a crazed old woman hasnt endeared the tories further to the scots. When the scots voters sniff round labour conservative and lib dems they smell london control, no rightminded scot will doubt that the rebranding will change anything. Lets see the new scottish tories denounce thatcher .

The state of Scotland is down to Labour, they use Scotland as a whore. They keep investment low, make sure state dependence is high and therefore Scottish people can't vote Tory.

I'm open-minded to the concept of the Scottish Conservatives becoming autonomous of the UK-wide party, but I reckon Murdo Fraser has just handed the leadership to Ruth Davidson on a plate.
