Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Cyril Smith te whiu o te rōpū mō ngā tau e whā i roto i te Pāremata, ā, i whakanuihia ia hei rangatira Lib-Dem i ngā tau i mua i tōna matenga. I whakapau kaha a Nick Clegg ki te wehe atu i tana roopu mai i nga whakapae mo Cyril Smith inanahi ma te karanga i te MP pedophile he 'kaitohutohu mahi'. I kī a ia ehara i te mea no te rōpū Liberal Democrats te kaiwhaiwhai ā-hinengaro taimaha i te wā i tūkinotia ai e ia te tini o ngā tamariki. I te mea ko Smith te whiu o te roopu mo nga tau e wha i te Paremete, a i whakanuihia ia hei Lib Dem grandee i nga tau i mua i tona matenga. I whakawakia a Mr Clegg i runga i te waea-radio mo te 'horoi i ona ringa' o te take ma te kore e whakahau i te tirotirohanga a te roopu ki a Smith. I tohe tonu ia kaore he uiui ahakoa nga whakaaturanga i roto i te Daily Mail o te Rahoroi ko te roopu Liberal - he kaikawe ki te Lib Dems - i tuku moni ki te utu mo te marama kotahi ki tetahi kaitohutohu i muri i tana amuamu mo te whakawhiu a Smith ki tetahi tama taiohi i te 1979. I whakaekehia a Mr Clegg mo te taupatupatu a Smith i roto i tētahi whakaaturanga waea-i runga i te reo irirangi LBC inanahi. I patai atu a 'John from Bexleyheath' ki a ia he aha i kore ai nga Lib Dems i tirotirohia ahakoa nga korero hou mo te pedofilia nui a Smith i whakaatuhia i roto i te raupapa o tenei pepa mo te pukapuka a te kaitorangapu Labour a Simon Danczuk mo te mema o te Rochdale MP. I ngana a Mr Clegg ki te wehe atu i nga Lib Dems mai i a Smith, ka mea "ko nga roopu torangapu katoa" me mahi tahi me te tirotirohanga a te pirihimana. Ka mea ia: 'I te mea e tupu ana, ko Cyril Smith, e mohio ana koe, ko nga whakapae e karapoti ana ia, ka hoki tonu ki te wa i a ia he kaitōrangapū mahi, i mua, i mua i taku whanautanga, ki taku whakaaro.' I whakapae a Mr Clegg ki a Mr Danczuk i te whiriwhiri "ki te whakakore i te meka he kaitōrangapū mahi a Smith i te wa i whakapaehia ai ia kua tīmata ia ki te tukino i nga tamariki iti". I tāpiri ia: 'I kaha a Cyril Smith ki te tōrangapū, i roto i tētahi rōpū kāore anō kia tīariari - te rōpū Liberal. 'Na he kaitōrangapū mahi ia, ā, he kaitōrangapū ia mō te nuinga o tana mahi, mō tētahi rōpū Liberal, kāore anō kia tīariari. I tupu katoa tēnei i mua i te...
Ka whakamātau te kaiārahi o te Pirimia Liber ki te wehe i te rōpū mai i ngā whakapae. E kī ana ko te MP momona ehara i te mema o te Lib Dems i te wā i tukinotia ai ia. I whakakorea te uiui ki ngā kerēme i tukuna e te Pāti Liberal he moni whakamā ki tētahi kaitohutohu.
