Many will disagree with me here but I believe the majority of No voters weren't particularly interested in extra powers and I don't think this is what clinched the result in the campaign.

It's doubtful that YES were ever ahead in the campaign. Only a couple of polls actually showed them ahead and only by a couple of points. The establishment did panic though but they didn't have any real need.

Of course, the polls were very close but this was more to do with the lackluster and negative campaign by Better Together in general as opposed to the ultra positive "Utopian" promises from The Yes side.

If anything, the offer of extra powers carried the risk that voters might regard it as a sense of desperation on the part of Unionist politicians and just decide that they would be as well going "the whole hog" and go for full Independence anyway. After all, the offering of increasingly larger concessions by the Better Together politicians, was hardly a sign of faith in the status quo or much of an endorsement for The Union.
