Councillor Wulfric should resign his seat at the first possible chance, to see if the voters of the Lincoln region agree with his change of mind. He can (and should) run in the subsequent special election.
They voted for him, not the party he was in. He’s still the same Dwarven Dragon. I think he just woke up. I guess the machine doesn’t like free thinking people lol.
Atlasia may not have closed party lists, but a good 90% of the voters vote based on party, not candidate. People voted him because he was a Laborite, and there would have been little to no chance of Wulfric winning if he ran with the DA.
