watso is not too sure what this is about - because maybe PUP membership numbers were not an issue at the last QLD election - as PUP had not been formed. somewhere along the way, PUP in qld got a couple of MP's, who came from the libs - but now they have left - and if PUP want to run in the next QLD election, they have to prove that they have 500 members. maybe if they still had the former lib members as MP's then the numbers may not have been as important
