UK Think Tanks
There are over UK 100 think tanks listed on Wikipedia. This include a variety of organisations with varying degrees of independence from the main political parties.
On one end of the scale, the Fabian Society is a fairly closely alligned with The Labour Party. The CentreForum (formerly the Centre for Reform) has Lib-Dem connections while The Policy Exchange is a fairly recent newcomer with close links to David Cameron's Conservative Party.
In late-2007, The Guardian offered this round up of the key political think tanks.
