I feel compelled to point out that the Green Party England & Wales adopted a platform in favour of free software and against software patents at our last conference. Across Europe Green parties have spoken out against software patents and Microsoft's monopoly power, and pressed for change in purchasing policies to favour (or at least stop shutting out) free software. It would be well worth any Scottish subscribers to this list pestering the Green MSPs, and likewise if you live in a council with a good number of Green councillors. Then again, in the world of first past the post I understand that you mean Labour and the Lib Dems when you say "the other parties"!
