Fair enough, and I've done that in the past, but if they're against software patents it's probably only because they're against computers in general. A countrywide return to the Amish way of life isn't quite what I had in mind;-)
Still, it's good for a larf, which is about as much good as you're likely to get out of British politics these days. Wasn't there a Black Adder documentary on it?
Unfortunately, given this list of candidates and this summary of patent bill votes, every single representative, apart from the UKIP for whom I have no intention of voting, is marked "red", i.e. against amendments to the bill (including Lib Dems). So unless I'm reading that table incorrectly, there are precisely no candidates for whom I wish to vote in East Anglia.
I second the call from a previous poster for the electoral system in the UK to be revised to include, at the very least, a "none of the above" option.
