3. Even then, I wouldn't care, as they currently oppose this idiotic law.
4. Despite your loud and empty protestations, the fact that Wildrose and the PCs have diverging opinions on this is evidence that they are not as similar as you are trying to make them out to be.
But then, you can't try and push the people wanting a change to the Liberals if you don't spend all your time trying to paint that picture, can you?

I think that bolded part sums it up best. You're a pure partisan so it really doesn't matter. You will vote WRA regardless.
The reality is that these MLAs were completely in agreement with the legislation. If they disagreed and it was bad for them to say so they could've simply said nothing, but instead they came out in favour.
So in the end you have a pretty clear picture of whats going on here. The Wildrose was against Stelmach. He's gone and now they have to try to put a reason forward for their existence. They're trying to distance themselves from the PC's and show that they are somehow different. Instead its a group of disaffected Tories with no notable differences than what we've arelady seen, aside from some social conservatives who clearly feel more comfortable with the Wildrose than they did with the PC's.
