It is not a British Conservative government, it is a British Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government of which there are 1 Scottish Conservative MP and 11 Scottish Liberal Democrat MPs.
I agree that, in a way, the English decide who governs Scotland as there are a more seats in the House of Commons from England than from Scotland. You could say something similar for any representative parliamentary democracy. For instance, you could say that in Canada non-prairie provinces decide who governs the prairie provinces. Or non-Atlantic provinces decide who governs the Atlantic provinces. Or Anglophone Canada decides who governs Francophone Canada.
