Cameron's premiership was marked by the ongoing effects of the 2007–2008 financial crisis; these involved a large deficit in government finances that his government sought to reduce through controversial austerity measures. In September 2014, the Unionist side, championed by Labour as well as by the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats, won in the Scottish Independence referendum by 55% No to 45% Yes on the question "Should Scotland be an independent country".
