The DTI/Patent office are following that line. The best chance of
defeating S/W patents is tactical voting in the European elections. Ask
your MEPs where they stand, and how they intend to vote. Make it clear
that your vote is contingent on their promise to be there for the second
reading, and vote to throw the Council's mess away.
