I am not trying to pick a fight or debate the actions, I am really just not sure what options the party had.

I don't know about internal WRP policies, but don't party leaders normally have the option to denounce a candidate or elected representative and remove them from caucus if they get too far out of line?
For a recent example, the federal Conservatives did this with Helena Guergis a few years ago.
