The only concrete information I have found is this, on the Foundation for a 
Free Information Infrastructure site:

http://www.ffii.org.uk/libdems.html

In short, the Lib Dems have an official policy expressing that they are deeply 
sceptical of the benefits of software patenting, but the FFII are 
dissappointed that they aren't a bit more vocal about their policy.

From a first glance at the other pages on this site, the Conservatives and 
Labour are both portrayed as being broadly in favour of software patents.

I shan't be able to express my opinion as I got my Electoral Registration form 
in too late :-(

Cheers,

Jon
