Experts said British Prime Minister David Cameron faces new challenges even if Scotland voted "no" to independence on Friday.

European- Political Editor for CNN Robin Oakley, who has been covering politics in the region since 1986, said in his report that Cameron made a "narrow escape."

For one, he still has to face a huge Parliament battle to honor his commitment to the Scots: a compromise in favor of the Scottish Parliament.

The "Devo Max" or devolution maximum would assign greater power to the Scottish Parliament in terms of its spending power and authority to raise taxes.

However, Cameron's devolution pledge last week made business analysts worried.

Forex.com research director Kathleen Brooks attributed the decline of Scotland's sterling to the prospects of devolution.

Cameron initially refused the devolution of such powers to Edinburgh, but was later forced to concede just before Friday's vote to boost the "no campaign."

The Guardian, in its report last week, said the devolution pledge was aimed at the traditional Labor voters.

Another challenge for Cameron is facing demands of the conservative Scottish Parliament members (MP).

For instance, they started demanding the reduction of Scottish members in the Westminster Parliament. They also want Scottish MPs to cease voting on matters delegated to the English and vice versa, Oakley reported.

Cameron also faced criticisms even if the UK's breakup did not push through.

For one, the referendum itself was blamed against Cameron and his party. Cameron granted the staging of the referendum and gave Alex Salmond, Scottish National Party leader, a chance to campaign for the cause.

Critics also blamed him for agreeing to let one referendum decide Scotland's fate, citing the long referendum process involved in setting up the Scottish Parliament in the 1970s.

In contrast, if the "yes" votes prevailed, Cameron might lose credibility as UK's prime minister. He might also face a "rebellion" in his party, Oakley said.

Scotland's historic vote for independence on Friday divided the nation, 55 to 45 percent, in favor of "no."

Cameron, aware that many Scots disliked him, sought the Scots to detach their decision from their biases against him and his party in his final appeal.
