Over the past decade or so, the leadership of the People's National Party (PNP) has opened the door of its Old Hope Road headquarters to approximately 15 Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) refugees.
Although wary, the Comrades have kept quiet in the face of decisions to embrace the former political adversaries since 2006.
But for many Comrades, the welcome mat laid out for political firebrand Joan Gordon-Webley is taking things too far.
"Joan is really hard to ingest," declared Terrence Gibson, a PNP activist from South West Clarendon. "But we are the People's National Party so I guess that's what the 'people's' stands for."
