They'll try for that. But there's still a backlash over the mess that RBS/BoS got into. If we'd been devolved when that happened then we'd be Iceland right now...

Damn right. Hell, we'd probably be worse than Iceland, because don't the SNP want us to join the Euro? So we'd be on our knees begging the Germans to come take control of our economy and bail us out.

And I don't think the Germans are going to be keen to do that for anybody else once the extent of the hellhole they are in having gotten involved in the Greek situation become apparent to the electorate.
