What else are they going to do, they basically get slammed for doing their job which is to question. they can't hold things up in votes being a minority. You might as well declare your distaste for this government and walk out in protest.

I think the Wildrose illustrated that there is no point doing business with the Wildrose. They tried to make a mountain out of a molehill and when it didn't go as planned, they literally stomped out of the room.
Their job as opposition is to hold the government to account and present a coherent alternative governing strategy. How does theatrically walking out of the legislature fulfill either of these jobs?
I'd be pretty disappointed with my kids if they pulled a Wildrose-like stunt. When things don't go your way, you don't throw a tantrum and pick up your ball and go home. You persist and rise above.
