On Sunday, U.K. PM David Cameron's office said:
'Scotland will get more autonomy with no "ifs or buts"', after Scottish leader Alex Salmond accused him and other politicians of tricking Scots out of independence.
'It is the people who were persuaded to vote "No" who were misled, who were gulled, who were tricked effectively,' Salmond told BBC TV, saying he thought last-minute promises of greater powers and continued higher-than-average funding, which he said were already unravelling, had swayed the vote's outcome.
Cameron's office responded by saying the government would stick to its promises. Miliband, leader of the Labour party, said on Sun he disagreed with the proposals because he thought more time and consultation was needed to work out a solution to 'the English question' accusing his rival of playing politics.
He told BBC 'You know we've spent two years trying to keep our country together. Let's have a proper constitutional convention, let's look at these issues; Let's not drive our country apart because David Cameron thinks it's a sort of opportunity for him to do it.'
