Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapumautia: ka whai wāhi a Ed Miliband ki ngā tautohetohe a ngā kaiārahi e toru i te wā o te pōtitanga. Kua kī a Ed Miliband ka whai wāhi ia ki ngā tautohetohe a ngā kaiārahi e toru i runga pouaka whakaata i te wā o te pakanga pōti - i te rā i muri i te whakakahoretanga a David Cameron. I whakapumautia e te tumuaki pakanga o te kaiārahi mahi a Douglas Alexander i roto i tētahi reta ki te pouaka whakaata e rite ana a Mr Miliband ki te puta. Ko tana hiahia ki te haere mai he tino rereke ki tera o Mr Cameron, nana nei i whakamarama i te po whakamutunga e hiahia ana ia ki te mahi i tetahi tautohetohe e whitu-ara i te mutunga o Maehe, engari kaore e nui ake. I tēnei wā, ka whakapuaki ngā kaiwhakarato pouaka whakaata e whā - te BBC, ITV, Sky me Channel 4 - ka piri tonu rātau ki a rātau mahere i whakapuakina i mua mō ngā tautohetohe e toru i te wā o te pakanga pōti. I roto i tētahi tauākī tahi, ka kī ngā kaiwhakapāho e piri tonu ana rātou ki ngā mahere mō tētahi tautohetohe e whitu e whai wāhi ana a Mr Cameron, a Ed Miliband o Labour, a Nick Clegg o te Lib Dems me ngā kaiārahi o te Greens, Ukip, Scottish National Party me Plaid Cymru i runga i te ITV i te 2 o Aperira. Ka whai ake tēnei i tētahi whakaaturanga tuarua i runga i te BBC e whakaatu ana i te rārangi ōrite i te 16 o Aperira, me tētahi tukinga whakamutunga i waenganui i ngā kaiārahi Tory me Labour i runga i Sky News me Channel 4 i te 30 o Aperira - kotahi wiki tonu i mua i te pōtitanga o te 7 o Mei. I akiaki rātau i te Pirimia kia 'whakaaro anō' i tana whakakahore ki te whai wāhi ki ēnei whakaaturanga. Engari ko te kaihautū matua a Mr Cameron, a Craig Oliver, i kī ko tā rātau whakautu he 'whakamate' ā, i kī anō ko te 'tūnga whakamutunga' a te Pirimia kia kotahi te tautohetohe i te wiki e tīmata ana i te 23 o Maehe. I roto i tētahi kōrero ki te huihuinga o tana rōpū i Scotland, e tūmanakohia ana ka mea a Mr Miliband: 'I tēnei rā kua tuhituhi te Rōpū Kaimahi ki ngā kaiwhakapāho e kī ana, ahakoa kei a David Cameron, kāore rānei, ka haere au ki ngā tautohetohe. 'A, ia rā tae noa ki ēnei tautohetohe ka ui ia [Mr Cameron]: he aha te mea e huna ana koe?' E tūmanakohia ana kia whakamahia e Mr Miliband tana korero i te huihuinga ki te whakapae i a Mr Cameron mo te 'whakakahoretanga' me te ngana ki te 'whakakahoretanga' o nga tautohetohe. Ka mea ia: 'Koinei ta David Cameron i korero ai mo nga tautohetohe pōti TV: he...
I kī te kaiārahi mahi ka whai wāhi ia i muri i te kore whakaae a David Cameron. I kii te Nama 10 ka uru anake te Pirimia ki roto i te tautohetohe e whitu nga huarahi. E whakawehi ana ngā kaiwhakapāho ki te haere tonu ki ngā tautohetohe rangatira e toru ahakoa te aha. I tūmanakohia e Mr Miliband kia kī tōna hoa tauwehe kei te 'kī' atu i ngā tautohetohe i tēnei rā.
