Just send this: <What is the XXXXX party's policy on Software patents within europe?> to the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, BNP, Greens, English Democrats and the Indepedents.

From the list here: http://www.ffii.org.uk/analysis_uk.html it looks as
if we have a long way to go to change people's minds on this.
