Cranmer makes an interesting point about the importance of today's meeting: "Sinn Fein would rather do a deal with Dr Paisley while he lives, for his uncompromising ghost would have haunted the political process for decades to come. Had this meeting not taken place, if devolution had not been agreed by May 8th, whoever became leader of the DUP would have lived under the perpetual doubt of ‘What would the great Dr Paisley have done?’ That question is now settled; the doubts have disappeared."
"I would recommend The Difference to every Conservative — there is no other magazine quite like it." Caroline Spelman MP, Chairman of the Conservative Party
