Tuhia he tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I kaha te whakahē a Cunningham i te whakawātea o Scotland. I tana tono, i whakaaetia e te Whare o te Whare te whakatikatika ki te Ture o Scotland 1978 e whakaae ana te nuinga ki te "Ae" i te pooti i te tau 1979
i runga i te whakatūnga o tētahi Runanga i whakatūria kia 40% o ngā kaitono pōti, ki te kore ka taea te whakahoki mai i te tono, ā, ka whakakorehia te Ture mā tētahi tikanga ture. Ahakoa i wikitoria te "ae" i te nuinga o te hunga i pooti i te pooti, i te mea ko te "ae" anake te 32.9 ōrau o te pooti, i whakatau te kawanatanga mahi kaore e haere tonu ki te whakakorenga. Na tenei i akiaki te Scottish National Party ki te whakakore i tana tautoko mo te kawanatanga iti. Katahi ka tukuna e te hoariri Conservative he kaupapa kore whakawhirinaki, i hinga ai te kawanatanga ma te pooti kotahi. Ko te Rōpū Kaitiaki, e whakahe ana ki te whakakorenga, i wikitoria i te pooti nui i muri mai; i whakakorea te Ture o Scotland i te Hune 1979.
