Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Nigel Farage, i whakaahuahia i muri i te wehenga o Reckless ki Ukip, ka iti ake pea te ahua o te ahua o te ahua i muri i te whakaatu o te Rochester me te MP Strood kei te anga atu ki te pakanga ki te pupuri i tona nohoanga. Ko te Mema Tory nana i whakawhiti atu ki Ukip ki te whakaoho i te pōtitanga o Rochester me Strood kei te haere ki te ngaro i te nohoanga i te Kōwhiringa Whānui. E ai ki te pōtitanga pōti huna hou rawa atu i pā ki te rōpū a Nigel Farage, ko Mark Reckless, i riro hei MP tuarua a UKIP i te marama o Noema i mua, e anga ana ki tētahi pakanga nui hei pupuri i tana nuinga 2,920 i te 7 o Mei. Ka puta te whakapuakitanga i muri i te raru o Ukip i te rerenga o te wiki kua hipa ki te Mail i te Ratapu o te rangahau e whakaatu ana i a Mr Farage e whai ana i nga Tories i tana nohoanga whaainga o Thanet South. Ko ngā raraunga tūmataiti o Rochester e mōhiotia ana e noho ana a Mr Reckless i muri i te kaitono o te Kaitiaki, a Kelly Tolhurst, i hinga i a ia i te pōtitanga ā-rōpū o Noema. I te wa i tu ai a Mr Reckless mo nga Tories i te Pooti 2010, he maha ake i raro iho i te 10,000 nga pooti. Ka rite ki te pōti o Thanet South, kua whakatau te rōpū kia kaua e whakaputa i ngā tatauranga mēnā ka whakahāwea ngā kaitautoko. I kī tētahi pūtake matua o Ukip: "Kāore i te ngāwari te āhua o te mahi a Mark, engari e tūmanako ana mātou he tinihanga ngā tatauranga". Heoi anō, i tāpiri mai tētahi atu pūtake: <unk>Kāore mātou i te raruraru nā te mea kāore a Reckless i te tino rongonui.<unk> E whakaaro ana ētahi kaitohutohu tērā pea kotahi noa iho te Mema o Ukip <unk> Douglas Carswell, nāna i wikitōria a Clacton i tētahi pōtitanga tuarua me te nuinga o te 12,000. I te pō o inanahi i whakakahoretia e Ukip i tono te rōpū i te pōtitanga i Rochester engari i mea: "I mōhio tonu mātou he whawhai uaua tēnei". Ko Mark Reckless te mea kua huri ki te Ukip e anga atu ana ki te pakanga uaua ki te pupuri i tana nuinga 2,920 i Rochester me Strood.
Ka ngaro te nuinga pōtitanga pōti o te 2,920 i Rochester me Strood. Ko te pōti pōti huna hōu noa iho tēnei e pā ana ki te rōpū a Nigel Farage. I kii tetahi puna nui o Ukip: 'Kare e ngawari mo Mark, engari e tumanako ana matou'
