Jon Bright (London, OK): Any Londoners out there unsure of where to cast their vote in the upcoming elections might want to check out "Vote Match 08" - a new website launched by Unlock Democracy and the Dutch Instituut voor Publiek en Politiek. The tool poses a range of policy based questions, then asks you to select which areas are of most importance for you, before fixing you up with a politician to suit your needs. The candidates themselves have already answered the same set of questions, so you'll be getting someone who thinks like you on the issues you feel strongly about (hopefully). To my slight disappointment, I was paired off with Boris Johnson, who I am not exactly a massive fan of. But it's nice to know we're not so different after all. Who will you end up with?
