Examining the startling revival of the Scottish Conservative Party
under Ruth Davidson's leadership Key features First book to examine
the recent revival of the Scottish Conservative Party Analyses the
Scottish Conservative Party and Ruth Davidson's leadership in
ground-breaking ways, for example in the context of gender and LGBT
politics; its relationships with the SNP, Northern Ireland, the
Scottish media and the UK Tory Party; its use of Scottish national
identity in promoting itself electorally Complements and updates
David Torrance's 2012 edited volume for Edinburgh University Press
on the decline of the party, Whatever Happened to Tory Scotland?
Helps inform Scottish political and academic discourse ahead of the
2021 Holyrood elections When Ruth Davidson was elected leader of
the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party in 2011, it was
considered something of a joke: in electoral decline for decades,
politically irrelevant and apparently beyond the point of no
return. But by 2017, 'Ruth Davidson's Conservatives' had become
Scotland's second party at Holyrood and Westminster, and its leader
spoken of as a future leader of the UK Conservative Party, if not
the next Scottish First Minister. This book, which brings together
leading academics and analysts, examines the extraordinary revival
of the Scottish Conservative Party between 2011 and Ruth Davidson's
shock resignation in 2019. Contributors look at the importance of
gender and sexuality, the 2014 independence referendum, the
Scottish media and the UK Conservative Party's 'territorial code'
to the changing fortunes of the party and its leader, asking if it
can be sustained amid the turbulence of two ongoing constitutional
debates.
