That's how Palpatine became Emperor.

"It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy. I love the Republic. Once this crisis has abated, I will lay down the powers you have given me!" -- Emperor Palpatine, not Nicola Sturgeon

I seem to recall that a previous poster made just such a prediction about the emergency powers; not specifically about Scotland, though.
