Of Course he is PM of the whole of UK

but in Political terms SNP run Scotland
just one MP each of the 3 other parties

They couldn't hold the independence referendum until the UK govt. passed same.
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.
