[edit] Change of Party

I would love to know why he left the Free Trade Party for the ALP. Dlw22 15:28, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Although I don't have any hard evidence I would think it has something to do with the fact that after tariff issues were resolved the Free Trade Party became increasingly anti-socialist. Poynton had been involved with organising unions in his early career and was likely more a socialist than an anti-socialist. This, of course, is mere speculation. Shadow007 07:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
