Whatever qualms WP might have earlier have clearly been thrown out the window. Rather than settle the summon for its alleged illegal trade fair, WP’s intention to claim trial indicates that it now no longer intends to let matters rest. It’s open challenge to investigate its financial accounts is now matched with an equally open welcome.
It would be fair to assess that since its win in the 2011 general elections, WP has been fairly patient with the accusations thrown its way, preferring to dismiss them. This non-confrontational approach would have won the hearts of many. Instead, the party seemed inclined to let their grassroot efforts rally support from the electorate, as evident from the many outreach activities that they have conducted on the ground, activities that are seldom reported by the mainstream media.
But ground work is best exemplified by efforts in the wards it runs, and would not be sufficient if WP does intend to expand its electoral footprint to constituents who are only getting its feel for the WP through media reports. Perhaps the WP feels that its reputation is at stake, and sees the need to rectify the situation. Only time will tell if they managed to nip it in the bud soon enough, as the next election is no longer that far away.
