    Pirates to Run for European Elections

    Not Somallian, Sweedish!

    Founded by copyright activists in early 2006, the Pirate Party believes people should be able to freely copy books or music for private use. The party is dedicated to radical reform of copyright law, abolition of the patent system and guaranteed online privacy rights. But despite an agenda near and dear to much of Sweden's youth, the party put in a dismal showing in the Swedish national election in 2006, winning only 0.63 percent of the votes.
    I want them to have at least one MEP!

    The Pirate Bay lads? They should definitely win a few votes.

    Apparently Nacka is 'a wealthy suburb of Stockholm'!

    Well, if they included generic medicines in their remit, I would be all in favour.

    We don't really need a Pirates party.

    We already have a Thieves party.

    It's called Fianna Fail the Mass Immigration party.
