Scotland Independence Results: 'Yes' Vote Boosted by Anti-Westminster Sentiment

Disillusionment with Westminster was one of the main driving factors behind Scots who voted 'Yes' in the independence referendum, according to a poll from Lord Ashcroft.

The survey, which questioned more than 2,000 people, found that almost three quarters (74%) of 'Yes' voters said that a disaffection with Westminster politics was one the most important issues in deciding to vote.

The research also revealed that 'Yes' voters were concerned about the NHS, with more than five out of ten (54%) respondents stating that it was one of the most important issues in deciding to vote.

The poll found that 'No' voters thought the pound (57%), pensions (37%) and the NHS (36%) were some of the most important issues in deciding to vote.

The findings come after 84.6% of Scotland's electorate turned out to vote in the polls, with 45% voting for independence and 55% against.

The Prime Minister David Cameron announced plans to devolve more powers from Westminster to Holyrood after the result.

Cameron said that only English MPs will be able to vote on English issues, and implied the same for Wales and Northern Ireland.

"The people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland must have a bigger say", Cameron said.

He also announced that William Hague will put plans in place, with a Cabinet Committee to be formed to discuss.

The Labour Party leader Ed Miliband backed the move and said the referendum result was a "vote for change."

"This was a vote for change," Miliband said. "Change doesn't end today, change begins today – this was a vote for solidarity and social justice."
