Pirate Party Wins At Least One EU Parliament Seat

so when they have a vote do they answer 'arrrr!' for an affirmative?

and if their parrot says "arrr" too, does that count as two votes?

...and are eye patches and peg legs required attire?

Personally, I find it pretty scary when a non-political party gets so many members in a political setting...
This party stands for nothing else than privacy rights. WTH does that have to do with running a country or the EU? Please...

People are just so fucking stupid. AND obviously bored. If you can't make a decision (or cannot find the right party to vote for), vote for the "odd one", because that will never reign anyway. WRONG!!!

Which is exactly my point. People should know better. It's the fucking EU you are talking about, not some local or provincial election.

(hehe, congrats )

People should know better than what? Privacy rights are important, especially when organisations like the RIAA and MPAA think they have international jurisdiction.

Wtf is a Pirate Party?

Had one at my place last weekend.

Guys dressed as pirates (peg leg, eye patch, parrots), girls as wenches ( )
Walk the plank into the pool
Feel up the wenches when they serve you ale and rum
Sword and fist fights
Sing drinking songs
Shoot cannonballs at the next door neighbors patio, then climb over the fence and kidnap the women

So some smartass from Sweden should become a political pary? Please, there are organisations, THAT is the way to do it.

I understand their ideology, but the way they are doing it is not the right one, imo.

A party dedicated to free movies and music? Where do I sign up?
