New leader for the Scottish Conservatives

Annabel Goldie, a woman who even Rab McNeill in the Scotsman used to write only glowingly about, has become leader of the rats in a sack impression that is the Scottish Conservative Party.

First thing she needs to do is give those swines in the party that have only their own self-interest and misguided agendas to push a good kick up the arse.

David McLetchie was a misguided sod on the fiddle who still managed to address the decline of the Tories in Scotland. It is up to Annabel Goldie to make the graph turn upwards more decisively.

Can she do it? Well she's certainly got the credibility. Whether she has the team behind her is probably the crucial factor. 2007 elections are still long enough away for her to put Monteith and McLetchie affair behind the party. It's all to play for in Scotland (well not all obviously but there's lots to play for). Good luck Annabel.
