They govern Scotland on a wide range of policy,they don't rule it, that is still done by the UK govt. even if the SNP had all 59 seats in Scotland.

The Scots and the SNP for instance cannot word the EU referendum for themselves, that will,or should be,agreed by consensus sought from the UK govt.

Nicola Sturgeon has been very careful to say there is no will for another referendum on independence during this parliament.
However she always qualifies that, with if there was a major change then that could trigger the need for another.

She outlined in the debates, that if there is no lock on the EU referendum that at least 3 and preferably all Nations of the UK have to vote to leave the EU, then were the result be to leave and Scotland had voted to stay in, that would be such a trigger for a new referendum as independence.

She is always careful to add that.
I still have the feeling she will ask in the Scottish elections next year,in the SNP manifesto, for the 'option' to seek another referendum if circumstances bring about major constitutional change.
Which is exactly what the UK,EU referendum,would do in the event of a vote to leave the EU,which Scotland is strongly opposed to doing.

I think you are allowing yourself to be blinded by Nicola Sturgeon as to how devious she can really be.
She is a formidable opponent and master of manipulation in getting what she wants.
David Cameron,I doubt, will ever be able to get one over on her.
