They were swayed in the end by the promise of new powers being seen to 'instantly' after the referendum.

It may well be more unrest to come yet.
That will be very sad to see and I hope doesn't materialise.

The stupid thing is that if you actually read what Miliband is saying, I don't necessarily disagree with him. He's basically saying that it's important for the agreement to be honoured but equally important that it's done properly, that what is being offered is considered and discussed, that people are consulted, before a decision is made on exactly what is being done. He warns against rushing anything through "under the table" at Westminster because it's likely to be full of holes and may even be to the detriment of Scotland. It makes a lot of sense. He's 100% correct that if this is being done, it needs to be done properly and not a cobbled together goody bag of flimsy, vague crap just to fit a tight deadline. He's also mentioned devolution for English regions which if done right would be one of the biggest steps towards social justice we've seen in generations. Not that I believe he'll get that, too many London powers would be working against him.

Of course, the headlines and that little bold chunk of text at the start of every article is completely misrepresenting the actual content of what has been said... And as ever people are buying it hook line and sinker. The ONLY explanation for this, is that the UK media was never just "pro union", it's actually plain "pro tory", as this is being used now as a tool to undermine Labour whilst making it seem that Mr Cameron had honourable intentions. "I wanted to give yous powerses, honest, but that mean Ed stoppeded me ".

If people don't open their eyes, and quickly, we're getting a second Tory term, which will make the cuts and policies delivered in the last 4 years look like a beautiful meadow of rainbows and sunshine.
