It was already speculated about their possible resignation, now everything is clear: Ruth Davidson withdraws from the British top policy. That told the Scottish Tory boss. Above all, Davidson leads private reasons for this decision. In October 2018 she became the mother of a son. "I'm afraid I've proven to be a good leader over the years as a weak daughter, sister, partner, and friend," Davidson wrote in a letter to her party.
However, Davidson also makes no secret of their dissatisfaction with the current policy. She never hid the conflict in which she was in Brexit, she wrote. Davidson voted against Brexit in 2016. She is one of the camps of the moderate among the Tories - unlike Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is heading for an unregulated EU exit.
Johnson had just caused his indignation to stop the parliament for a week after the summer break. This will make it much harder for MEPs to prevent Brexit without an agreement with the EU. As of today, the British are leaving the European Union on 31 October.
