Glasshouse was being conservative - the actual ratio of SNP to non-SNP is between 18:1 and 19:1. SNP have 35 MPs, out of 650 at Westminster. Scotland as a whole have 59 MPs, which is roughly proportional to the population ratio of Scotland vs. the wider UK (it used to be disproportionate in favour of Scotland, but this was revised in 2004).
It looks like the SNP aren't even that popular in Scotland then.

If the UK takes back fishing rites and Scotland leaves and joins the EU what happens next? I can`t see much point in English people voting SNP unless Nicola Fish is on a strange ego trip. I can understand some English people voting for Scottish independence if offered the chance just for a bit of peace and quiet.
