What was the significance of the SNP's majority win in the 2011 Scottish Parliament election under Alex Salmond's leadership?

It allowed the SNP to abolish the Scottish Parliament and centralize power in Westminster. It was the only time a party won an overall majority under the additional member system, enabling the 2014 independence referendum. It resulted in the immediate independence of Scotland without a referendum.
