[...] Parliament, for example, includes Valdemar Tomasevski MEP, who describes homosexuality as an “evil” from which children must be “protected”. It’s easier for the Tory party to ally with outright homophobes than it is for them to [...]

Ah I see I do them a slight injustice – its Cameron’s Latvian allies who commemorate the Waffen-SS (the Lithuanian Quislings for some reason never got their own Waffen-SS division – although their auxilary police units killed many more Jews and others than the Latvians) and not the Lithuanians.

However I suppose my main point still stands – what can Latvian ultra-nationalists and Lithuanian Poles have in common?

Somewhat puzzled that Cameron’s grab-bag euro-alliance includes both Lithuanian nationalists who actively idolise the Waffen-SS and the (presumably sole) representative of Lithuania’s Polish minority – who whatever other views they might hold are unlikely to have fond memories of the Nazi occupiers and their Quisling collaborators.

Is there any unifying principle at all in that grouping?
