It won't change mine ;-)

Every political party in the UK bar the current government have been 
engaging with the Free & Open Source Software communities for some time.

George Osbourne (Shadow Chancellor) famously quoted a potential £600m 
saving by using Open Source Software probably 2 years ago now.

Labour have been lobbied and caught hook-line and sinker by the major 
proprietary players and have little idea.

It's time for a change...

Please. It's time for a change...
