What should those MSPs do?

Article Abstract:

The parliament with tax-varying powers which Scots are expected to vote for in the devolution referendum on Sep. 11, 1997, will emerge into a Scotland that is seeking to renew itself at a time when the Union has lost its progressive ability to do the same. The new parliament will build on two legacies of the Conservative years, Scottish resistance to Thatcherism and the development of a new Scottish culture. The parliament will enable the autonomy that Scotland has already gained within the British Union to become more democratic.
