Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I hangaia e Gray tētahi whārangi tuatahi motuhake mō te "Sunday Herald" i te marama o Mei 2014, i te wā i puta mai ai te whārangi nei hei tautoko i te pōti "Ae" i te pōti motuhake o taua tau
, te niupepa tuatahi, te niupepa anake hoki ki te mahi pera. I whakaahuatia e te niupepa te mana motuhake hei "te tupono ki te whakarereke i te huarahi, ki te haere i nga huarahi iti ake, ki te tautuhi i te mutunga", a ko te etita, ko Richard Walker, i whakahe i nga tikanga whakamataku o te taha "Kaore" me te kii ko te mana motuhake he mea noa. Ko te hoahoa a Gray, me tana tautoko me te pepa mo te mana motuhake, i kukume i te whanui whanui i taua wa, i muri mai. Ko te taupoki he tarutaru nui e karapoti ana i nga saltires Scottish; I tuhituhi a Iain Macwhirter o te "Herald" he mea "whakamanuhiri", ana ko te "National" i kii ko te ahua o Gray kua "whakamaramahia te nekehanga 'Ae'". Ko te paetukutuku o te "Sunday Herald" i whakapiri i tōna waka, ā, i piki ake te hoko o te niupepa i te 31% i muri i tana tautoko i te "Ae". Ahakoa i pooti a Scotland kia noho tonu, i whakaaro a Gray he pai ake te hua i te wikitoria iti o te Ae.
