It's election time so let's hear from you

Hi everyone

Things have gone a little quiet recently so this is just a reminder to everyone to join us in contributing to the blog. We know from our webstats that lots of people are regularly viewing the blog but many folk seem a little reluctant to make a contribution. So come on everyone...don't be shy!

Now that the general election has (finally) got underway we'd be interested to hear what you think about the various parties promises on science and technology. We've just been looking at a table in the Independent which compares the party policies on a whole range of subjects - the economy, health, crime etc. Unfortunately (as usual) very little on science and technology. Main highlights at the moment seem to be that the Conservatives and Lib Dems would ban GM crops, some concern about stem cell research, plus the inevitable promises of more cash for research and for health. Has anyone heard any reference to how science and technology features in the various party manifestos?
