I agree with you on the part about the Liberals and their reading of this situation. They weren't able to beat the Tories in any situation where the WRA was not a factor, so an enlarged opposition party on the right doesn't necessarily bode well for them.

I guess my pondering here is more about the fact that the current influx has a lot to do with the positioning of the WRA as being very different from the PC party. Does that advantage begin to erode when you have PC's putting their stamp on the party? for example if Boutillier (probably spelled wrong!) moves over I would say that is great for the WRA. If Ron Liepert comes over though....I would say that is not good at all (based on the article in the Herald this morning amongst other things).
