They've got more people, so I think that it's fair.
The problem only stems from the fact that the Conservatives have little want or need to assist or invest in us as it will not maintain or improve their support here, we simply don't vote for them.
While you may say that this is unimportant as the entire country voted you will notice that there is no larger (and very few smaller) homogeneous group of people in the same region with such distinct views, the situation is rather like Denmark being run by Germany albeit with a common language and 300 years of history together, The views of English, Welsh and Northern Irish people are very distinct from Scottish people's, not to mention each other's.
I'm guessing an executive council of leaders of UK member nations with Veto powers for laws affecting their nation wouldn't be well recieved?
I'm also surprised that the Scottish government budget is not set by percentage of GDP, the current system is open to abuse.
