LONDON -- Hillary Clinton showed us all how to do a 404 page when she launched her new campaign site on Sunday.

The U.S. presidential hopeful's pun-tastic error page is complete with a throwback photo from the Clinton family album.

Across the pond, the UK is weeks away from the general elections with the main political parties spending more time and money than ever before on their digital campaigns. So what have they done with their 404 pages?

The Conservative Party's 'give us your data' page

Never waste an opportunity! Who needs humour when you can collect data. The Tories wants to get your answers to questions that will help their long-term economic plan. Thrilling stuff!

Labour's quippy, one-liner page

It's like something you might hear from a Labour canvasser on your doorstep. It's a start, but they can do much better than that.


The Lib Dem's 'we're not wasting any opportunity to tell you we've had enough of Cameron' page

Do the Lib Dems know something we don't know? So Cameron has said he won't stay for a third term if the Conservatives are elected back into government, but why are they so certain he'll get a second?


Plaid Cymru's strange random baby page

Well we all just learned how to say oops in Welsh! But why the baby?


The Green Party's 'our designer ran out of time' page

The UK Green Party's 404 page doesn't look like it's quite ready for the limelight yet.


The Scottish National Party's very functional page

Functional and a bit repetitive, definitely room for improvement.


UKIP's 'there's nothing to see here' page
