A big change in the UK general elections is clearly visible that has upset all the pre-poll forecast. Miliband like every politician did not talk differently and was extremely surprised by the election results, which is won by the Tories.
On economy, David Cameron's policy was on track, but on the subject of austerity, which was the main focus of (Cameron and Miliband) there is nothing remarkable or worth mentioning.
Further, one must not ignore the fact that the Tories retained power because of a sheer campaign fear. Scottish vote of 56 versus 59 in favour of SNP that surged from six votes in previous election (2010) supports my contention, which is surely at the cost of dividing the UK.
Yes, I am pointing to the English resistance and Scottish nationalism, as SNP campaigned to protect Scottish interests and not in UK's interests. This is why Labour lost 41 seats that it had won in the 2010 elections.
The crux of the matter is that David Cameron has promised Scotland autonomy, pledging same authority for Wales.
Furthermore, it is important to note that the elected London mayor, Boris Johnson, who is likely to succeed Cameron, has spoken of a federal model, which means more power for local and regional governments.
Therefore, the 2015 UK election has certainly opened gates for more aggressive future debate on Scotland's and Wales' autonomy and if not executed early, protectionism will often be discussed until the next election.
