The term 'democratic deficit' was used by supporters of constitutional change to describe the situation where the Conservative government had a minority of MPs in Scotland and where the majority of voters supported parties who are in favour of constitutional change. The claim that the party had no mandate to rule in Scotland was rejected by the government.
