Me neither.

I am looking into the parties official responces to the Open Source community and the EU's patenting issues.

It deffinetly won't be the Conservatives - they compared FOSS to drugs :S

I've modified your poll because it didn't include the Green Party ;)

And for the Brits here who aren't sure yet:
The GP strongly opposes software patenting. Copyright works well enough to protect IPR (Intellectual Property Rights). The flag of IPR must not be used to give more power to rich corporations while preventing the general use of useful cheap software.

You obviously haven't clicked on his signiture!

We want to register a highly visible and damaging protest vote against Tony Blair, his style of government, his right-wing leanings, and his lies about the 'war' on terror and Iraq. You can help. On election day, we want you to vote strategically. Ruthlessly. In 'safe' Labour seats and marginal seats we want you to vote for the candidate most likely to beat the Labour candidate.



I agree I hate Blair too I hate him more than Bush!

I hate the Conservatives as well.

I'm voting Liberal because they sound more honest and their policy on tax makes more sense.

The Conservatives are the most hypercritical the accuse Labour of stealth taxes when they invented them.

Labour said they wouldn't rais tax - that's bullshit they did.

The conservatives plan to cut tax, but they might cut income tax but the duty on alcohol will still rise, and they'll cut public spending to boot.

Liberal say they'll increase income tax for the rich and increase public spending.

Both the Labour and Conservative partys have been in power before now lets give the Liberal Democrats a chance.

I know they're not ready to run the country at the moment but they'll make a better opposition than the Conservative party.

The vote's going well, with Green Party in the lead. Anyone else? Anyone from the US?

By the way, who d'ya think actually is going to win?

If I had the opportunity, probably Green Party, due to their anti-software patent status.  I can't stand people being given arbitrary control over code modules (though it's already been done to death here).

Where's the BNP option? Think about the poor fascists we're offending! :(

Me? Nan, I'd vote for the Green Party.
