I agree, from now until the end of this year, Scotland will now be furious it has a Conservative govt; ruling it again.
Then early next year,the problem will likely come to a further head, when they start the new austerity cuts,the 56 SNP MPs will kick off bigtime when they present that bill for Scotland too.
David Cameron would face problems, likely even in his own party too, were he to try to avoid implementing austerity measures in Scotland but still try to inflict them on England and Wales.
Nicola Sturgeon has said, Scotland has voted strongly against more austerity.
With his also looming referendum on the EU too, if he can get it through at all that is, this may well be the 'trigger' for Nicola Sturgeon to include an independence referendum again,possibly as soon as next year in her holyrood manifesto.
I think you are right that he could be the last PM of the UK.
No way are the SNP going to sit back for 5 years and just take all this govt; throws at them.
If he throws too much to them as well, then his party and the English will not stand for that either.
I really don't envy at all David Cameron's task in even trying to begin to placate Scotland now.
