Use the search bar in each to find the things your are interested in and flip directly to the page. You can save them offline, send them to others or post them on social bookmarking sites.

Some other interesting finds…

There’s also the 2010 UK Budget and many other types of political publications from the Scottish magazine, Holyrood, and the business weekly, Public Finance to the left-wing Anticipations, from the Young Fabians Society. There’s definitely something here to get your political juices flowing.

Or, if you’re fed up of listening to candidates fighting over your vote, can’t stand politicians or just fancy a more light-hearted approach to your election information, ‘The Naked Truth’ e-Books on Gordon Brown and David Cameron provide an amusing take on how some of the candidates’ key political promises have often turned out to be rather embarrassing lies.
