    May is 100% gone. She's easily in her last 24 hours as leader.

    If she steps down, who is the PM? Isn't she obliged to at least begin the the next government as the leader of a minority government?

    Her electoral gamble has backfired and her GE campaign has been dire. But May is likely to be the leader of the winning party in the GE with just short of a majority and therefore now arguably has a democratic responsibility to form a government, if she is in a position to do so.

    Not sure she is. As far as I can see, beyond being anti-independence, Davidson doesn't really seem to have any clear politics.

    I'd disagree. Davidson is socially liberal, fiscally conservative. She's be on the left of the party, where Ken Clarke is.

    Why not wait until they have a leader and policy position you find more amenable :)

    I believe she is a Cameroon, well that is the impression I got. If she does want to move to Westminster it will be interesting to hear her policy stances.
