In reply to the discussion: Shock new poll says Scots set to vote yes to independence [View all]pampango
(24,692 posts)Speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, Conservative (Chancellor George) Osborne said: "You will see in the next few days a plan of action to give more powers to Scotland; more tax powers, more spending powers, more powers over the welfare state. "That will be put into effect the moment there is a 'No' vote in the referendum."
The pledge came on the day a YouGov poll suggested the Yes Scotland campaign for independence had taken a narrow lead.
Scotland's first minister said: "Are we expected to believe, after hundreds of thousands have already voted, that there's a radical new deal?
"This is a panicky measure made because the 'Yes' side is winning on the ground. They're trying to bribe us, but it won't work as they have no credibility left."
