The election’s well past now, but Public Whip has an excellent online tool by which you can tell how the three major (okay, two major plus one less minor) parties in British politics line up (in the context of a recent by-election).  It’s really well done.  It confirmed what I’ve slowly come to realize over the past five or six years – the party that I’ve long identified with is not the party I could bring myself to vote for, anymore.
