Nick Fredmans quandry

Was the SA Northern
Territory results (4-5%) twice as good? The Cunningham by-election
result (0.6%) 40% as good? Was Steve Jolly's sect 6 times as
effective when they got 12% in the 1999 Vic elections, cf 2% recently?
DAVE:
Was the DSP also 6 times more successful in the seat of Melbourne in the last 
state elections?
What do you mean by sect? Isolated from the working class movement or the 
engine room of working class activity the Socialist Alliance? Never mind that 
we have consistently outscored all your genuine votes, and have built a large 
influence in both the Vic AMWU, CFMEu and the NSW NUW. Passed a reolution in 
the CFMEU calling for a strike of all building workers on the afternoon of a 
war against Iraq.
My God, how isolated are we?

When snipping away at the old Maitland boys hyperbole, the question needs to be 
asked,
why hasn't the alliance been successful, with all its money, resources, and the 
200 members it mobilised on election day?

Freddy again:
Tom has unfortunately has left the ISO, maybe understandably given
their crisis of perspectives. But maybe even more unfortunately he
doesn't seem to have escaped their completely electoralist view of
both socialist electoral campaigns, and of the Socialist Alliance.

DAVE:
Why are you dissapointed? The DSP as a whole wants a neutred ISO in order to
lessen the competition.

SP member from Cessnock, evil stuff in Fredmans book.
