The Green Tories

It was interesting to hear Mark Durkan on Question Time last night, referring to the case of the ex-IRA Tory Councillor in Croydon, point out that Sinn Fein, now that it was in government, was merrily implementing what were really Tory policies. Sinn Fein is in that case turning into Fianna Fail, or (increasingly) Plaid Cymru, or (supremely) the SNP.
