Whakakī i te rerenga e whai ake nei: I muri i ngā pōtitanga o 2011 ki te Pāremata o Kōtihi, ā, ko te nuinga o te Pāti Motu o Kōtihi i puta mai, ka whakapuaki te Kāwanatanga o Kōtihi i tōna hiahia ki te whakahaere i tētahi pōtitanga o te Pāremata o Kōtihi
pōti motuhake i te tau 2014. I te marama o Mei 2012, i whakapumautia he whakahaere whakawhiti-parti e kiia ana ko Yes Scotland ki te pakanga mo te pooti "Ae". Ko te kaikorero ā-motu o te SSP, ko Colin Fox, i karangatia kia noho ki tōna poari tohutohu i runga i te tohe a te tumuaki o Yes Scotland, ko Blair Jenkins, i te aroaro o te SNP. I te wa o te kaupapa pooti, i haere tonu te roopu ki te whakatairanga i etahi atu take tae atu ki te taake moenga, te rawakore o te hinu, te marenatanga rite, me te pakanga a Iharaira-Gaza hou.
