Grezlov made valid points.
He and Wang Ye, who are the party leaders for the first and third factions respectively, are the faction helms too!
If someone was to undermine them, surely there should be some response. Otherwise they would be deemed incompetent.
Grezlov had called Wang Ye over today to discuss and brainstorm on how to respond.
The people who had already left were lost causes and could not be won back.

The general election was nearly a year away and it was predictable that Khodorkovsky would utilize this time effectively.
His side would continue to expand their strength, pulling more people into their faction.
Many of the first, second and third faction Duma members haven't joined them yet as they are still in their terms and might be unwilling to resign voluntarily.
