Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tukuna e te kaiārahi mahi a Ed Miliband i te rā nei tētahi atu whakapainga nui ki te aukati i te pikinga ake o te SNP. I mahue a Ed Miliband i te tatau e tuwhera ana ki tētahi whakaaetanga whai muri i te pōtitanga ki te SNP inanahi i te mea i kī mai he rangahau hōu ka taea te whakaiti i te Rōpū Mahi ki te rua noa iho o ngā Mema Mema i Rōpū Mema. I tohe tonu te kaiārahi mahi ka taea tonu e tana rōpū te wikitoria, e inoi ana ki te iwi kia kaua e 'whiti i te whitiki i te tukinga i mua i te mutunga o te kēmu'. Heoi anō, kāore ia i whakakore i tētahi whakaritenga pōti-i-ōti me ngā Nationalists. I tana haerenga ki Scotland i kii ia he 'huihui kino' i waenga i nga Conservatives me te SNP ki te pupuri i a David Cameron i te Nama Tekau. I tāpiri atu a ia, ko ia tūru i ngaro ai a Labour ki te SNP, ka nui ake te tūponotanga o te wā tuarua mō ngā Tories. I kaha ake te wehi o te Rōpū Mahi inanahi i te pōti a ICM mō te Guardian. I whakaatu te rōpū o Nicola Sturgeon i mua, me te 43 ōrau o te pōti, me te Labour e mate ana i te 27 ōrau, te Conservatives i te 14 ōrau me te Liberal Democrats i te ono ōrau. I runga i te nekehanga ōrite, ka kite ngā tatauranga i te piki o te SNP mai i te ono noa iho o ngā tūru 59 o Scotland i te tau 2010, ki te 43 i te marama o Mei. Ka ngaro te 29 o nga tuuru 41 i riro i te tau 2010, e kore ai e taea e te roopu te wikitoria i te nuinga. Engari ko te tātari taipitopito o ngā tau pōti e tohu ana ka kino rawa atu te tūnga o Labour. E ai ki tētahi rangahau hōu, he 27 ōrau noa iho te ōrau o te rōpū mahi, e ai ki te Ahorangi John Curtice, e rua noa iho ngā mema o te rōpū, he ōrite te tokomaha ki te rōpū Tories. E ai ki te tohunga kōrero ārahi, ki a John Curtice, o te Whare Wānanga o Strathclyde, kua eke te SNP ki te 31 ōrau o ngā tūru mahi. I whakatau ia ka taea te whakakore i te mahi i roto i nga nohoanga katoa engari e rua. Ki te pera, ko te SNP ka tino pupuri i te toenga o te mana i Westminster. "Kahore he mea... hei tohu i te pikinga ake o te SNP kaore i te whakawhānui ki nga waahi haumaru o te mahi mahi <unk> ki te mea, ko te mea ke", ko te korero a te Ahorangi Curtice. I puta te riri o Mr Miliband na Alex Salmond i whakanoho i a ia hei kaihanga kingi i Westminster. He huinga o...
Ko te uiuinga hou e tohu ana i te SNP i te 43%, i te Labour 27%, i te Tories 14% me te Lib Dems 6%. E ai ki ngā tātaritanga ka riro i te SNP te 53 o ngā tūru 59 ki te raki o te rohe. E rua noa iho ngā mema o te Rōpū Kaimahi, he ōrite te tokomaha ki te Rōpū Kaitiaki. Ka whakamahi a Ed Miliband i te kōrero i Clydebank hei whakakore i ngā whakawehi a Alex Salmond. I kii te Minita Tuatahi o mua ka mau te SNP ki nga mahi mo te utu mo te £ 180 piriona.
