It is also the reason that SQ don't participate in certain *A activities etc. Remember how the status match the year before last did not include SQ?
Sometimes I think SQ are part of *A simple because they feel they have to belong to an alliance rather than because they want to be. In may respects, they are a bit like the UK within the EU. Part of it but at the same time not wanting to be really part of it.
