I tēnei wā, ko te kitenga o te hinu i te Moana ki te Raki me te kaupapa "It's Scotland's oil" o te Scottish National Party (SNP) i hua ake ai te tautoko mo te motuhake o Scotland, tae atu ki te SNP. I tautohe te rōpū kaore nga moni mai i te hinu e whai hua ki a Scotland kia rite ki ta raatau. Ko te hua o enei huihuinga i arahina ai te Pirimia Wilson ki te whakawhiwhi i tana kawanatanga ki tetahi momo ture whakakorenga i te tau 1974. I raro i ngā tikanga o te Scotland Act 1978, ka whakatūria he runanga pōti ki Edinburgh mēnā ka whakaaetia e te iwi whānui i roto i tētahi pōti ka tū i te 1 o Poutu-te-rangi 1979.
He aha? He nuinga iti o 51.6% ki te 48.4% i pooti i te whakaaetanga mo te Runanga o Scottish, engari i hiahiatia hoki e te Ture kia iti rawa te 40% o te katoa o nga kaitono pooti i pooti mo te tono. I te mea he 63.6% noa iho te turanga, ko te pooti mo te 32.9% anake o te taupori pooti tika, a kaore i whakatuhia te Runanga.
