I was at the Richard Stallman meeting the other week and there were people representing two of the Political parties there; one was against Software Patenting (as am I), the other blustered about wanting to know more before he decided on anything (which, as a candidate, didn't inspire me or anyone else to vote for him).

Whilst I can't speak for my current MEP and lead candidate (We swap Xmas cards but only meet up and chat occasionally) I am aware that my party's policy on this matter is good, and will ensure when I next see her as part of congratulating her on her re-election I shall ensure she is up to speed on SP matters.

It's not like MEPs really get to decide on much, so they really should be well prepared on what they can. ;)

I fear the Liberal MEPs actually voted for software patents. You will need to be kicking of the arse.

[vampwillow]

yes, sadly I am aware of this. They did apologise afterwards stating that the motion had been misread as to which way was in favour or against...

kicking arses can be fun ;-)
