If we are a United Kingdom and Scotland votes for 50+ SNP MP's in the general election then, surely, that's that. You can't have it any other way without saying that Scottish votes don't count in the total at all, no matter which party they're for, surely.

That's exactly right, there wouldn't be any complaints from the tories or the labour party if all those seats were going in their direction rather than to the SNP. It is either a union or it isn't, last time I checked, it was a union, so all seats are of equal value in the UK parliament
