[ubuntu-uk] So, would you vote for them? (see The Reg)

[David King]

Any political party that is interested in the free software world, in 
particular Linux, is a candidate for using Ubuntu.

This list is about using Ubuntu, not political parties. So it is great 
to hear that a mainstream party would be willing to embrace Linux, and 
maybe Ubuntu. But there should not be any bias for or against any 
political party on this list. If the Conservatives are going to use 
Ubuntu, let us encourage them. It may also set a precedent amongst all 
the political parties to champion Linux over Windows, then whatever 
party you support will start using Linux.

As for voting for any particular party in politics, there is more than 
just what OS they use to consider. But all other things being equal, if 
one party chooses Linux, and the others want to use Windows, then the 
Linux-using party gets my vote.
