After the EU election results last night saw the BNP get two MEPs elected there was some Twitter chat, at one point Jim Rossignol said Perhaps the reason there isn’t a liberal, technology and media savvy party to vote for, is because no techno-liberals ever go into politics.

If you hit the jump you will find a ‘manifesto’ for what I think a techno-liberal party would stand for. Note this isn’t a real manifesto in any way, shape or form.

1. We believe in respect for the individual. We believe there is no room for racism in this country and any parties that promote racism would be investigated.

2. We believe technology is important for the future of Britain and modern technology industries should be at the heart of the economy.

3. We believe that sustainable resources are not being used in the right way. We would make greater use of sustainable resources and look to cut CO2 emissions by 50% at least.

4. We believe in the need for political reform on all levels. The House of Lords, the voting system and the constitution. This would prevent things such has the expenses scandal occuring again.

5. We believe that voter apathy is hurting the electoral process. We will engage with the electorate and find out why they vote or don’t vote.

These are just a few quick things I have come up with, what do you think?
