A number of MSPs are understood to be considering a bid to replace Douglas Ross as the Scottish Conservative leader.
The Scottish Conservatives could face “political extinction” if they do not have a wide debate on the future leadership of the party, an MSP has said.
However, the contest will not begin until at least next week as the party’s management board will decide on the timeline at the weekend. “Or is it willing to have a real and meaningful conversation about what sort of party they want any new leader to lead? He said there is “little appetite for a reactionary lurch to the right in Scotland, but the status quo is equally unappetising”.
“Scotland needs to play a big part in rebuilding an election-winning conservative movement and, along with many others, I’ll be taking careful consideration of the new circumstances we are in and of how I can best contribute to that task.”
