If anyone wants to vote on the basis of each Party's website markup-coding aptitude (and let's face it, people vote for less important reasons), here are the results from the W3C's validator:
The Scottish National Party: 0 errors (XHTML 1.0 Transitional)
The Conservative Party: 0 errors (XHTML 1.0 Transitional)
The Labour Party: 1 error (XHTML 1.0 Transitional)
The Green Party: 5 errors (no DOCTYPE or character encoding, HTML 4.01 Transitional used)
Plaid Cymru: 9 errors (no DOCTYPE or character encoding, HTML 4.01 Transitional used)
Veritas: 11 errors (no DOCTYPE or character encoding, HTML 4.01 Transitional used)
Respect: 26 errors (no DOCTYPE, HTML 4.01 Transitional used)
The Liberal Democrat Party: 148 errors (XHTML 1.0 Transitional)
UKIP: 161 errors (apparently, an attempt at HTML 3.2)
So now you know. And no comments about the validity of this page - I know.
www.ukip.org:
Line 51, column 71: there is no attribute "STYLE"
How apt. How very apt.
(btw, they must have updated the site; now 185 errors for HTML 3.2)
