Our next, female, poet laureate

The Independent suggests women poets don't even want to be poet laureate (curiously ruling Carol Ann Duffy out of their thinking who I'd have thought was an obvious pick with her GCSE status).
Should a woman be picked? Well of course. Will it happen? Well they're less likely to jockey themselves to the front of establishment thinking, but the Queen after all is her own woman so here's a little logic to help her out.
The Union is under threat, so our poet should be Scottish (not a tough one that, since our royal family has such strong Scottish sympathies). A woman makes sense, who can give voice to that rare factor of our having a female sovereign. The planet's in a worse state than the Union, so someone with exquisite empathy with nature would be healthy. Royalty has done fairly well at rejuvenating itself, so there's no point going for anyone decrepit. A poet who can be clear in prose would be splendid. Given all those factors, the answer becomes clear.
I nominate Kathleen Jamie as our next poet laureate.
