a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jul/29/david-cameron-european-parliament-conservatives" Timothy Garton-Ash has an interesting article /a on some of the Conservatives' new allies in the European Conservatives and Reformists group in the European parliament. One of them, Michal Kaminski, from the Polish Law amp; Justice Party seems to have particularly hard-line right-wing views. He appears to be a fan of Augusto Pinochet and he is rather intolerant towards gay people. And, he seems to have objected to the Polish government making an apology for the murder of Polish Jews in the village of Jedwabne in 1941. He does not seem to understand [or is deliberately ignoring] the history of anti-semitic violence in Polish history.br /br /It does go to show that the EPP has successfully incorporated the centre-right parties of the EU under its umbrella. By seeking to leave that group, the Conservatives have had to look further and further right to find allies.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38622711-1967083732769833673?l=vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com'//div
