I don't think they're that devious. I think it has more to do with ignorance and lazy stereotyping about Scotland (particularly by the English Right) rather than actually trying to understand the reason WHY it acts the way it does.
Look for the root cause, rather than trying to fight a symptom which the existance of the SNP is. That means studying and understanding the nitty gritty of Scotland's history post-1707, particularly the conduct of it's ruling and mercantile/industrial classes.
