====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ======================================================================
So finally Peter Boyle comes clean that the Socialist Alliance and the DSP are one and the same with the ex DSP making a generous handover of their resources to...themselves. On alternative to Peter's hollow triumphalism is given by Allen Myers at http://directaction.org.au (Go to this Link and look for The sad end of the DSP in Australian News and Analysis) I don't fully endorse Allen's political conclusions but his analysis of the role of the DSP in SA culminating in this wholesale takeover is spot on.
