Scottish independence: Predicted effect on gap between rich and poor 2014 survey

As a result of independence, would the gap between rich and poor in Scotland be bigger, smaller or would it make no difference?

The data displays a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out how those residing in Scotland think the gap between rich and poor would be effected if, in September 2014, Scotland voted 'yes' for independence from the UK. In January 2014, 37% of respondents thought there would be no such difference.
