The issue is not Scotland having a say in the election, Scots are still citizens of the UK and as entitled to vote as the rest of us. What is of concern is the prospect of a particular party with an agenda expressly dedicated to the break up of the UK holding the balance of power, and using it to promote that agenda rather than the interests of the UK as a whole.

I suspect Salmond's strategy will be to make Scotland so unpopular among the English that come the next independence referendum we'll all be campaigning to see the back of you.
