Re: 10,440 for Akiba (result of the chair election of JSP)

Thanks Adam,
I'm encouraged much.
The last conference of JSP was held yesterday and it decided
to rename the party 'Shakaiminshu Toh'=Socialdemocratic Party
as same as its earlier changed english name. But an explicit
split did not occur. I think our last chance would come when
it would merge with the Sakigake party (a liberal bourgeois
party). If the merge fails, it might be more problematic for
us.
On the same evening a meeting of a new socialist party called
by 5 dietpersons of former JSP was held. I myself could not attend
there for my time limitation. I would report about it when some
info is available to me.

in solidarity,
Iwao
