Addressing the Tory Party’s annual conference, Douglas Ross lamented the “defeatism and disinterest” regarding Scotland’s role in the UK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ross, who replaced Jackon Carlaw as Scottish Tory leader in August, focused much of his ire on the Conservative Party in England which he is accusing of facilitating Scotland’s departure from the UK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“The case for separation is now being made more effectively in London than it ever could in Edinburgh”, Ross chastised his own party.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bemoaning the fact that “too many” treat Scottish independence as a question of “when not if”, Ross told his fellow Tories that “unionism is in our party’s DNA”.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pointing to the Scottish Parliamentary elections in May 202, Ross proclaimed that a Scottish National party (SNP) – and by extension Scottish independence – is “not inevitable”.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"It is time for the whole Conservative Party to rediscover its unionism and get behind us. This is a fight we can win", Ross pleaded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Turning his attention to foreign policy and the UK’s role in the world, Ross warned that Scottish independence would replace a “Global Britain” with a “Little England”.  <\/p>\r\n\r\n
