I have had a real problem with understanding the voting on software patents and things, just completely unable to comprehend anything to do with it, until I read this open letter which I personally found very helpful, at least I know how to vote usefully now!

Me too - thanks for the link - kinda summarises well what I've found out so far, however on the wider scale of things I personally would prefer voting Libdems who weren't mentioned there but I understand they are also more receptive to our 'cause'.
Now I'm even more confused...
