Some of her people, the minority of her people, were the ones who up and expatriated because they didn't like it. Alleria Windrunner is assumed to be someone who wouldn't have followed Kael'thas... why? She was a zealous nationalist and pretty unrelenting/obsessive about defending her country, but you suppose she would have stood on a principle that would have left Quel'thalas more vulnerable to the Amani, or to remnant Scourge? I question that, I question that quite a bit. She seems a fire-with-fire persona.
There is simply no believable perspective by which she goes first to Stormwind, hear's one version of what the hell happened, and just straps on a Stormwind tabard without ever once having walked up to Halduron, Lor'themar, and Rommath to get their version of things. And I don't think she could actually listen to their answers and feel no sympathy or understanding and perhaps even a little disdain for the few who could just turn their back on Quel'thalas so easily at its darkest hour.
We've got Sylvanas in red, Vereesa in blue... there's no real mystery about where Alleria makes the most sense; in yellow.
