The hypocritical implication was that the “penalty fee” would make it that you could join WR but never leave.
I doubt it. They can always leave – it is just that there are consequences for doing so.
In fact considering the effort it takes to rev-up public opinion on various issues – as Wildrose has done so well as Opposition – I completely agree with the idea that free-floating opportunists will avail themselves to latch on to a good thing – the rising wave of public opinion and try to land a seat. Clearly there is great upside and virtually no downside (apart from a month spent campaigning – which may be alot or not much).
Why not charge for that opportunity?
