I think the Wildrose is a bit gunshy (although they don't seem afraid of guns) when it comes to policy because they are afraid of alienating people by looking either too extreme or too moderate.

The Wildrose relied largely on the lack of popularity of the PCs to lift them up. Now they are going to have to pick themselves up on their own because they are going to have to go head to head with an apparently competent PC party leader in Prentice. I believe Smith is capable of doing this but I'm not sure she has the team around her to pull it off.
