Your questions for Ruth Davidson

The Scottish Conservative leader is taking your calls on air this weekend

Published 29th Apr 2016

Ruth Davidson is going to be the last of the five main party leaders appearing on our Scotland's Talk in election specials on Sunday morning on Forth 2.com

Scottish voters will go to the polls on Thursday to elect 129 MSPs.

She has been the leader of the Scottish Conservatives since Annabel Goldie stepped down following the last Scottish Parliament election in 2011.

If the opinion polls are to be believed the party is in a close fight to gain the second-highest number of MSPs and be the main opposition party at Holyrood.

Among the main themes of her party's campaign has been implacable opposition to any second referendum on independence and a view that tax rates in Scotland should not be higher than in the rest of the UK.

Launching their manifesto she said: "The Labour Party has had nine years, six leaders and no success in holding the SNP to account. It's time for somebody else to get a go."

"Folk aren't daft. They know the likelihood of me moving into Bute House (the First Minister's official residence) is next to nil."

Instead, she said: "I seek to lead a strong opposition to the SNP. And this manifesto today sets out how.

"So it isn't a programme for government - it is a programme for that strong opposition. It sets out how we intend to challenge the SNP in the event that they are returned for a third term in office."
