Westminster MPs aren't the same ones who work at Holyrood. The MPs for the Scottish Parliament only work for Scotland, the Westminster ones work for Britain.

But yes, I agree, there should be separate parliaments for all countries in Britain, and Westminster should be done away with - or used to house the new exclusively English government. None of this Britain/UK/England/Scotland/Wales shite. Separate countries, separate governements. And I want to be able to put SCOTTISH on my passport. After all, there's no such country as Britain - it's a name given to a collection of three.
