I'd guess it's because they're Conservatives, e.g. content with the
status
quo. This includes the unwritten constitution which centralizes all
power
in
the Crown, and therefore in the government at Westminster. Therefore
moving
power to Edinburgh is just as offensive as moving power to Brussels -
because it detracts from the Sovreignty of Parliament.


But the Scots (notionally anyway) chose to give up their sovereignty to
the
English Parliament and become part of the United Kingdom. So what's wrong
with returning it to them?


Nothing, I think it makes perfect sense, but then I'm not a Tory... This
doesn't apply to all Conservatives, but the party as a whole has a record of
condemning any changes in the distribution of power that remove it from
Westminster as posing a risk to our way of life in some way. I don't get it
either.
