Also worth remembering what English grassroots Tories are like. They resented Scottish politicians during the Blair / Brown years and that won't have gone away. Some will resent Davidson's sexuality, and most will despise her for not being anti-EU enough for their tastes. Grassroots English Tories may loathe the SNP, but that doesn't make other Scottish politicians all that much more acceptable to their tastes either!

Grassroots Tory activists are going to want a hard right Brexshitter when May goes. If Andrea Leadsom had not pulled out of the leadership contest last year we might well have that instead of Theresa May.
