Whats in a name? The Pirate Party screams Youthful idealism, read "naive" ! The proven savior in politics though is "traditionalism".

Speaking of "traditionalists" and organized piracy too (and even "free" trade), the head of one of the original Western pirate organizations gave a talk to the German Parliament re heart-sensitive values.

Never mind that this one stark image undercuts all of his pompous humbug.

And why not Google the topic of Papal Bulls and European colonialism.
Such toxic bull-manure "authorised" one of the longest and largest periods of sustained piracy that the world has ever seen.

Re "traditional" values (etc) again.
This in your face video clip is very much appealing to such "values", and the USA "tradition" of unrestrained piracy too (the only good Indian is a dead one)

Yes but in the end Ho Hum, tradition is tried and true by nature of age!

Kudos to them, they are responding originally to the draconian clamp down on of IP laws by the "traditionalists". I only hope our Government takes notice (no chance), wonders why something so popular with consumers (IP "piracy") is illegal, making a plethora of citizens "criminals" and then perhaps take the initiative to work towards a solution that suits consumers, you know, those weirdos Government supposedly represent and not the USA IP holders under the "US not so free trade agreement". eg For the longest time in Aus it was illegal to record a TV show !

I have voted Independent for the last 5 or so federal elections (lower house) but they would get my vote if they had a member in my electorate.
