i am so proud of the teams we have built as a party at holyrood, westminster and council chambers across. proud also of the work we have done to reach out to all communities in scotland, north and south, rural or urban, and after some sallow decades to prove ourselves a truly national party once again. —— fallow. but for me, electoral successes, while undoubtedly important, compare insignificance to the vital role in oui’ insignificance to the vital role in our party undertook in the campaign to keep scotland as part of the united kingdom in that independence referendum. it was, without doubt, the most important contribution of my working life, and i believe will remain so. it is therefore with a heavy heart that this morning i wrote to the chairman of the scottish conservative party to tender my resignation. i explain the changes, both professional and personal, that have prompted this decision. you all know and i have never sought to hide the conflict i felt over brexit. despite that conflict, i have attempted to chart a course for our party which recognises and respects referendum res
