thats so the people of Scotland still have a vote on who they elect otherwise they would have a dictatorship. this also ensures that Holyrood still have a say in UK politics. "sovereignty - an authority of state to govern ones self". it does not give automatic right of independence, thats a completely different thing.
if the SNP thought that there was a legal loop hole to independence then they would have used it by now.
