Whakaotihia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: I whakamahia te rerenga kōrero e ētahi atu kaitōrangapū me ngā tangata tūmatanui. I te tau 1979 i anga atu te Pirimia o Labour a James Callaghan ki te pooti kore whakawhirinaki i karangahia e te Scottish National Party, i riri ki te maimoatanga a Labour mo te pooti o mua.
Te pōti whakahōunga mana o Kōti. I roto i te pooti i puta mai i reira, i uru nga mana whenua o Scottish ki te hoariri Conservative ki te kawanatanga o Labour, ahakoa te mea i whakahe nga Conservatives ki te whakakorenga. I a ia e korero ana, i kii a Callaghan "Mena ka wikitoria ratou, ka puta he pooti whanui. I korerotia mai ki ahau ko te tawai o nāianei e haereere ana i te Whare, koinei te wā tuatahi i roto i te hītori kua tohua kua pootihia e ngā tīruhi he Kirihimete wawe". I ngaro te nuinga o nga mema o te Scottish National Party i te mutunga o te pooti. I te tau 2000 i kii te Mema o Ingarangi a Teresa Gorman, nana nei i whakahe te Tiriti o Maastricht; "Mena ka pooti te Whare o te Whare mo Maastricht, ka rite ki te 651 turkeys e pooti ana mo te Kirihimete".
