Scottish Tory leader resigns.

Today, the Scottish Conservative leader has decided to resign. Just hours after a leading financial backer to the Scottish Conservatives called for leader Annabel Goldie to resign after that poor display in the election.

She is the third Scottish leader to step down after the Scottish Nationalist party's ecstatic win in the Holyrood election. All three are pro-union. The leader of the Scottish Greens, Patrick Harvie (who would support an independence bill) has confirmed he won't be next to resign. So that brings the question, what now for unionism in Scotland? Who will be the next leader of the three parties? and who will lead the No campaign for Independence?

Interesting times ahead for Scottish politics!
