One idea being talked about increasingly in Tory circles now that the Tories are an almost exclusively an electorally English party is that the party could be broken up into a federation.

Tartan Tories in particular think their only hope of winning elections is to fight as a Scottish party, English Tories already win their national elections and Wales, well, who cares its never votes Tory anyway. Crazy for a party that until recently called itself the Conservative and Unionist party?

Doesn’t some ex-Tory tycoon bankroll the New Party in Scotland? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
