Scot Independence = Tory Majority in England?

This article in Foreign Policy asks the question "Will David Cameron be the British Prime Minister who lost Scotland?" It contains a long discussion of the Scottish independence movement.

It got me thinking about Singaporean independence. About how losing all those Chinese residents of Singapore made Malays a majority in Malaysia.

The Scots are largely leftist, preferring the Labor Party if they don't vote SNP. What if Cameron has concluded that losing Scotland makes England relatively safely Tory, by getting rid of all those Scot Labor supporters? It could be happening.
