Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua mihi a Ken Clarke ki ngā mahi pōti o nā tata nei a ngā Tories, e kī ana kua riro te rōpū i te'matau rawa' ki te wikitoria i tētahi pōtitanga. Kāore ngā Conservatives e wikitōria i te Kōwhiringa Pōti o tēnei tau nā te mea kua riro rātau i te'matau rawa', e ai ki te Kaiwhakahaere o mua a Ken Clarke. I mihi te MP Tory ki nga mahi pooti o nga Kaitiaki, e amuamu ana kaore i taea e ratou te wikitoria i te pooti mo nga tau 23 na te mea kua "tikina te taha matau". I roto i tētahi uiuinga whānui ki te maheni New Statesman, i whakatūpato hoki a Mr Clarke ki te tuku 'heeke kore' ki te NHS me ngā tahua āwhina o waho, ā, i whakahe i te kaiārahi Tory mō te whakaeke whaiaro ki a Ed Miliband. I kii a Mr Clarke, i mahi i raro i a Margaret Thatcher, John Major me David Cameron: "Ko te nuinga o nga pooti i whawhai ahau i wikitoria e te roopu Conservative. Na inaianei kaore i taea e taatau te wikitoria i te pooti mo nga tau 23. 'Kua riro te reira i te nui rawa matau. Ko te tūmanako ka whai tonu a Rawiri ki te whakatika i ngā wā e haere mai ana.' I whakatūpato a Mr Clarke kia kaua e hainatia he 'eke kau' ki te NHS me nga tahua awhina ke.

Engari e whakatūpato ana ngā kaiwhakawā ka kaha te pēhanga o te nekehanga ki ētahi atu tari pēnei i te parenga me te pirihimana, ka mau i te taumahatanga o ngā whakahekenga kua whakaritea. I whakahē hoki a Mr Clarke i te kerēme a te Minita Parenga a Michael Fallon i te wiki kua pahure ake nei, ka 'tukitukia e Mr Miliband te whenua' ki muri mā te whakarere i te patu karihi a Trident i te ara ano i werohia ai e ia tana teina a David i te wā o te pakanga mo te kaiārahi mahi. 'E kore ahau e whakaae ki ngā whakaeke whaiaro ki ō koutou hoariri. Kāre rawa au i mahi i tērā. Ki taku whakaaro hoki he utu ki a koe ngā pōti. Mēnā ka whakaekehia e tētahi taha tētahi taha ki tētahi taha.' Ko Mr Clarke, i mahi e wha tau i te Kawanatanga o David Cameron, e mōhiotia ana mō ōna whakaaro mārama, ā, ko ia tētahi o ngā torotoro torotoro torutoru mō te Uniana o Ūropi. Engari ko tana whakauru tonu he...
