In the face of a tsunami, our politicians are offering a pair of boots and an umbrella. Let the idea that we can win wars fighting yesterday’s battles pass away and allow a great cause new for the Tories in Scotland – cultural restoration with conservative revolution.
The opportunity that presents itself to Mr Findlay and the Scottish Conservatives at large is that, in the absence of any true Conservative vision that has been articulated over the past decade, there is a chance to shape one now.
The end result of this must be a new conservative promise to the next generation. A promise that we will lower your taxes; we will ensure homes you can afford are built; and that we will support your efforts to start a family.
