"Scotland" did not vote for anything - neither did "England". This is just another nationalist fantasy. It was a UK general election, with about 650 constituencies, each of which returned an MP. There are regional variations all over the UK in general elections but the fact that we are a modern, liberal democracy means that we accept the government even if we didn't vote for it, for the duration of its term. Most Scottish voters are sophisticated enough to understand this, and cast different votes for Westminster and Holyrood.
By a similar token, when the referendum results are announced region by region, and Shetland votes a resounding 'no', would you be content with the argument that "Shetland didn't vote for this"?
