Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson is being reminded of a wager she made before the election when she promised to 'strip naked on the banks of Loch Ness'
Former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson is being reminded of a wager she made before the election when she promised to"strip naked on the banks of Loch Ness", if the Scottish National Party manage to win 50 seats at the general election.
The SNP, which won 35 seats in 2017, has only exceeded 50 seats once before in 2015 when they won 56 seats.To reach 50, the SNP would have to take at least 15 seats from the Lib Dems, the Conservatives and Labour. Earlier this week, Ms Davidson said she did not rate the chances of the SNP achieving great electoral success in winning 50 seats.
"I will happily wager to strip naked on the banks of Loch Ness and subject myself to a Hogmanay wild swimming session should such a result occur, safe in the knowledge that my modesty will remain unmolested," she said in a piece published in The Telegraph.from the BBC has the SNP winning 55 of the 59 seats in Scotland."Ooooh looks cold out there," he said on Twitter.
