no.

There are loads of WR supporters who just had it with the PCs shenanigans. They may be opposed to a merger if it's rehashing the same tired back room relationships that they rejected before. But if this is addressed, they are on board

There are loads of PC supporters who just had it with radical right on the WR. They are opposed to a merger if it means having to rehash already decided social issues. But if this is addressed, they are on board.

Then there are the fringes to the left of the PCs who aren't conservatives at all, and on the right of the WR who believe social issues are the only issue worth discussing. They make a lot of noise. There aren't many of them, but they occupy a disproportionate amount of the press.

But the overwhelming majority, imo, support a merger.
