You can do your own search.
I'd recommend that you use not just Google but Yahoo, Bing, and other search sites - they have somewhat different results. 

And be aware that (especially with Google), the results you get will be influenced by the nature of the sites you have recently visited on that computer (unless you have totally removed cookies and other tracking items).  For example, if you have recently visited health food sites, you may get more liberal search results, and if you have recently visited survival food sites, you may get more conservative search results.

A good search text would be:  "compare national party platforms 2012."
