Westminster cannot make laws detrimental to Scotland, the acts of union clearly and unequivocally state thus. It has been used in court and upheld; the "settled will" of the Scotland people is paramount, not the crown (as in the rUK).<br />So, the poll tax, bedroom tax and even going to war would not have happened without the express consent of the people of Scotland but, because we have voted for non- domicile parties in the past, with puppet Scots, we got dragged along.
