I think the stories going around say that they are not ex-WP members. Rather, that they applied to WP, and were told that they were not going to be given special treatment and are not exempted from having to do quite a bit of volunteer work before being considered to be candidates for the GE. So they decided not to join and instead find another party where they can be parachuted immediately into candidacy.
To some people this would be considered a grey area. To me, it simply reinforces the view that most things on the Net have to be taken with a pinch of salt. If things cannot be verified OFFLINE firsthand then online opinions remain just that, opinions, and not necessarily facts.
