Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakawehi a Nicola Sturgeon i tenei ra ki te 'whakawhiti i te aronga' o te whare paremata o te UK me te kore ano e noho hei MP i te mea kua piki ake te SNP i ana tono ki nga mahi. I tohe tonu te kaiārahi SNP ka karanga ia i nga pupuhi i roto i te take o te whare paremata, ahakoa kaore ia e tu ana mo te pooti ki te Whare Commons. A i oati ia ki te whakamahi i te mana o te tini o nga Mema Mema kia tutuki ai tana hiahia mo nga tau e rima e whai ake nei me te kore e pooti i te kawanatanga. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko te kaiārahi o te SNP, ko Nicola Sturgeon, i whakaahuahia i Kilmarnock i te rangi nei, i tohe tonu ia ka karanga ia i nga pupuhi i roto i te kaupapa o te whare paremata, ahakoa kaore ia e tu ana mo te pooti ki te Whare Commons. I kii a Ms Sturgeon ko Mr Miliband "me whai whakaaro ki te ahua o te pooti a te iwi, ana me whakarite ratou ki te korero ki etahi atu me te whakatau ki etahi atu kia puta ai a raatau kaupapa here" Kua maarama a Ms Sturgeon ka mahi ia ki te "kī" i nga Tories mai i te mana me te tautoko i te kawanatanga mahi. Kua piki ake te rongonui o te SNP mai i te pooti mo te rangatiratanga i te marama o Hepetema, ahakoa 55 ōrau o te iwi i pooti kia noho ki te UK. E ai ki tētahi rangahau whakaaro hou a TNS, 54 ōrau te SNP, e rua ōrau i runga ake i te rua wiki ki muri, e rua ōrau i raro iho ki te 22 ōrau. I tēnei wā e anga atu ana a Labour ki te matapae ka tata ngaro atu ki te raki o te rohe, ka kore ai a Ed Miliband e whai wāhi ki te nuinga. Heoi anō, kua mārama a Ms Sturgeon ka mahi ia ki te 'tūwhera' i ngā Tories i waho o te mana, me te tautoko i tētahi kāwanatanga mahi. Kua whakakahoretia e ngā taha e rua tētahi whakakotahitanga ā-ture, ā, inanahi i kī a Mr Miliband kua 'whakaahuatia e ia kāore mātou i te hiahia' ki ngā whakaaetanga, pēnei i tētahi whakaritenga 'whakawhirinaki me te tuku' e whakaae ai te SNP ki te tautoko i te mahi i runga i ngā pōti hira pēnei i te Pūkete. Engari e kī ana a Ms Sturgeon ka mutu te pōti, ka pēhi te Rōpū Mahi ki te mahi i tana e kī nei. 'Ka taea e Ed Miliband te korero i nga mea e hiahia ana ia inaianei, kei a ia te mana ki te mahi pera, engari kaore e taea e ia te whakakahore i te pono,' i kii ia ki te BBC Radio 4's Today program. 'Mēnā ka puta he āhuatanga i muri i te pōtitanga, kāore tētahi o ngā mea nui...
E mea ana te kaiārahi o te SNP ka kōrero ia ki ngā rōpū o Westminster i muri i te 8 o Mei. Kāore te Minita Tuatahi i te tū mō te pōtitanga, ā, kāore hoki ia e noho ki te Whare Pāremata. E oati ana ki te whakamahi i te Ture Paremata Whakatika ki te 'whakawhiti i te aronga' o te kawanatanga. E ai ki te umanga a Mandelson ka puta te SNP hei toa o te pōtitanga. E rua ngā tohu i runga ake i te 54% o te pōti a TNS, e rua ngā tohu i raro i te 22% o Labour.
