Part of Europe

Today is "Super Thursday", when we have the European elections and a number of UK regional elections (though not near us). Four areas of the UK are trialling compulsory postal voting and putting the our democratic process in the hands of a company who failed to meet any of its targets over the last year. Ho hum.

I'm torn over my vote. I sympathise primarily with the LibDems (am generally pro-Europe, electoral reform, funding of public services, etc) but am strongly considering the Green party, largely due to their position against software patents, a massive blow against innovation getting ready to be struck.
