It would in a closer contest make it harder for Labour to win elections outright that is true, however the 1997, 2001 and 2005 elections without the Scottish seats would still have given Labour overall majorities and in the case of 1997 and 2001,still really big overall majorities then too.
It wouldn't in all truth harm Labour as much as you think and even without the Scottish seats in 2010, the Conservatives would have likely only got a 15 or 16 overall majority which still would have had them loooking over their shoulders as to defeats in parliament.
