Oh is that how it works? If you push these people out of the party, it's not like they just magically disappear. The progressive vote will probably begrudgingly and the extreme wing of the WRP will either try to grab a foothold in the newly merged party or they'll just start another political party. If you push the progressive wing out of the PC party, then you likely need the ultra-conservative wing of the WRP to win an election and vice-versa, especially if the NDP are smart (big if) and redesign the electoral boundaries to concentrate more voting power in the urban centres.
