I could see the Tories going along with this as a get out if their hand is forced into actually having a vote on the EU.
They would have to be monumentally stupid to allow the SNP to establish this as a constitutional precedent. The UK is not a federation. It never has been, and as far as I can see the only proposal on the table that would turn it into one has come from the SNP - and that's because they want it as a gradualist route to independence, not because they think the UK would work better that way.
