24% <citation needed> of people in Scotland vote Tory but get no representation at Westminster.
if Labour (say) win 326 seats the other MPs might as well take the next 4 years off. If the tories win again (my bet) then the ast majority of people in Scotland can kiss goodbye to any say in national govt.

Madness I tell you, madness.
Should it really be a big worry when we have our own parliament with more power coming to it on a seemingly regular basis? As an aside, I think we've just about achieved (on balance), the Goldilocks of regional power with significant autonomy / decision making, but with security and stability of a large country / economy.

As we gain more regional control, we should accept less national control / say / input etc. IMO.
