Interesting to see the view taken here:

There isn’t much point in having two very similar parties and perhaps the politicos have woken up to the fact that in pursuing the “centre ground” they end up with a short term advantage but a long term disengagement problem.
The only question is who blinks first? The Conservatives becoming conservative or Labour drifting off to the lefty hinterlands.
I hear Murdo wants to re-name the Party. How about the Conservative and Unionist New Tartan Spartans?
The interesting question is who will represent die-hard Unionist Tories (the sort who were opposed to devolution)? There are still quite a few left.
@3,
or: Scottish Conservative and Unionist Movement…
