According to Wikipedia far left "describes persons or groups who believe in radical or extreme socialist or communist ideologies. The far-left usually believes in achieving radical social and political change. Unlike the moderate left-wing, the far-left typically rejects achieving social or political change through democratic means, and believes in overthrowing the existing order by violence."
It is therefore obvious that the Socialist Alliance cannot be described as 'far left': if they rejected democratic means and favoured violence, they would not participate in elections. pir 06:36, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I added subcategories to encourage expansion. These headings are only suggestions. A few tables of election returns could be inserted. SA website is now defunct and for sale, but I haven't deleted the link. Added link to 2001 election platform which is a 1.6 MB PDF file on the SADP website. If this violates protocol, then we should just make a note following the SADP. DJ Silverfish 18:38, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I added a photo from the back of the 2001 election manifesto. It may be too large for the page. Here is a smaller logo: [[Image:SAlogo.jpg|]]. These should be in the public domain now. DJ Silverfish 23:05, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I've added the following tables to the discussion page, but the layout is not quite what it should be. I can find some, but not all of the relevant information. This could be updated and added to the main page later, if sources can be found. DJ Silverfish 19:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The external link to the website of the Socialist Alliance [2005] previously contained a clause indicating that the Socialist Alliance [2005] was "(previously the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform)". As a study of its website will verify, the Socialist Alliance [2005] makes no claim to have been previously called the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform. I have therefore deleted this clause of the description of the external link. Conversely, the external link to the website of the Democratic Socialist Alliance previously contained a clause indicating that the Democratic Socialist Alliance was "(previously part of the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform)". Read together, these two external link descriptions were illogical. If one organisation had been "part" of the SADP, then how could another have been the successor to its whole? In fact, as a study of the Home Page of the website of the Democratic Socialist Alliance will verify, the DSA states that it was "formerly named the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform". I have therefore deleted "part of" from the description of the external link.
the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform was formed in about 2003. After the original Socialist Alliance was formally shut down in 2005 by the SWP who had gained control of it from 2001, the SADP claimed the Socialist Alliance name and relaunched under that name.
