Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tū a Nigel Farage (i runga ake nei) ki ngā kerēme mō tētahi " taupoki " inanahi pō mō te tāpaetanga i tētahi rangahau e tohu ana kei te haere ia ki tētahi whiunga whaiaro whakaiti i te Kōwhiringa Pāremata. I aro atu a Nigel Farage ki ngā kerēme mō tētahi "whakamaramatanga" inanahi i te pōti e tohu ana kei te haere ia ki te whiunga whaiaro whakaiti i te Kōwhiringa Kāwanatanga. Ko te rangahau huna a Ukip, i puta ki te The Mail i te Ratapu, e whakaatu ana kua hinga a Farage i muri i tana hoariri Tory i te nohoanga o Kent e whakataetae ana ia. A kei te tūpono ia ki te whakaoti i te toru, me te tere o te mahi. Mēnā e tika ana te rangahau, ka mutu pea te mahi tōrangapū a Farage nā te mea kua oati ia ki te whakarere i te tūranga kaiārahi o Ukip mēnā kāore ia e wikitōria i te Tonga o Thanet. I tonoa te rangahau ComRes i te marama kua hipa e te kaipakihi miriona miriona me te Tory o mua a Arron Banks, nana nei i huri ki Ukip i te tau kua hipa, a i hoatu e ia te £ 1 miriona ki te roopu. I tūmanako a Ukip ka rite te rangahau a Thanet ki tētahi o mua e whakaatu ana i a Farage e ahu ana ki te wikitoria rongonui, ā, i whakamahere rātau ki te whakamahi i taua rangahau hei whakanui ake i te tautoko. Engari i te putanga mai o te hua, ka ohorere a Farage. I whakaaturia e ia te kaitono Conservative a Craig Mackinlay, he kaitono o mua o Ukip, i runga i te 30 ngā tohu, kotahi i mua i a Farage, kotahi anake i muri i a Labour. I tino āwangawanga a Farage i whakahau ai ia kia huna nga kitenga kia kore ai e whakawehi i nga rarangi o Ukip <unk> me te whakatenatena i ona hoa whawhai. I whakapau kaha ngā rangatira o UKIP i te wiki kua hipa ki te whakakahore i tētahi mahi huna. Engari inanahi, i whakaae te kaikorero kua tanumia e ia te rangahau, e kii ana he "kore pono" nga hua, he "pōti pooti" hoki. Ehara i te mea ko te pōtitanga i whakawātea te tohu anake e haere ana pea ngā wira i runga i te waka a Farage, ā-motu, ā-rohe hoki. I wikitoria te rōpū i ngā pōtitanga Pākehā o te tau kua hipa ki te 27.5 ōrau o ngā pōti, i whakaritea ki te 24 mō ngā Conservatives. Engari i te motu, kua heke te tautoko a UKIP ki te 14 ōrau, i te mea kua piki ake te tautoko a ngā Tories ki te 34. Ko te tūmanako o UKIP kia riro hei mana nui ā-paremata i whiwhi i tētahi akiaki nui i te wā i toa ai te tokorua o ngā Tory, ko Douglas Carswell rāua ko Mark Reckless, i te pōtitanga ā-whakarite...
E ai ki te rangahau a Ukip, kei te raru a Farage ki te tuatoru. I tūmanakohia e te rōpū ka whakaatu te kaiārahi i tētahi wikitōria rongonui. Ko nga hua o te 'pōti tinihanga' he 'kore pono', e ai ki te kaikorero a Ukip.
