[world politics news]


Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party Leader Ruth Davidson has resigned, citing her desire to spend more time with her family, including her newborn baby. In a letter posted on twitter, Davidson said that while she will remain a member of the Scottish Parliament, she didn't wish to lead the party into the 2021 election cycle.

"Having led our party through seven national elections and two referenda, I know the efforts, hours and travel required to fight such campaigns effectively. ... The thought of spending hundreds of hours away from my home and family now fills me with dread."

Davidson is the first openly lesbian party leader in the UK. In her autobiography, "Yes She Can," she spoke openly about her struggles with depression.
