This is a slight misrepresentation of the process though, isn't it? Scotland does not have devo-max and to say that we have been unaffected by Tory policies over the last 5 years is false. Resoundingly false. And Scotland simply as a rule of thumb does not vote Tory. Effectively making the conservatives an "English party" or, if we're being honest, a SOUTH of England party, which has merrily been making horrendous decisions for Scotland for the last 5 years, and even moreso in the 80's.
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.
