[The following speech, to the opening rally of the seventh national conference of the Socialist Alliance on January 2, 2010, was delivered by *Peter Boyle*, former national secretary of the Democratic Socialist Perspective.] Comrades, My job tonight is to make the unusual – if not unexpected – announcement that the Democratic Socialist Perspective (DSP) decided today at its 24th congress to effectively dissolve into the Socialist Alliance and to transfer all that it has built up, over some four decades of its existence, to the Socialist Alliance. Sadly, it is an unusual and rare thing for socialist groups, like the DSP, to break from the idea that they are the “true” party of socialism, with the sole correct political program, and seriously embrace left unity.
