Swedish Pirate Party Wins a Seat in the European Union

"The Swedish Pirate Party—Piratpartiet—has got a seat in the European Union parlament. The ballots are still being counted—almost done now—but with 7.1% of the votes, it's a sure thing. Aaaaaaaarrrrr is all I can say."

That's just awesome.

Another awesome thing about this, is that if these guys did not participate in the election many of their votes would instead have gone to a xenophobic party who has also gaining some support in Sweden through the latest years.

It may even have been so that PP prevented them from getting a seat at the EU, which is nothing to look down on

But because Pirate Party is a lot more popular and fan promoted I think they deserved it. They'll get a lot more public attention which I think is great.

Yeah. Yet a lot of the Young voters we're about to vote for the xenophobic one, but when PP came as a option, many of them chose to vote for PP instead, which is good, since xenophobia is a really bad thing IMO.

xenophobia = a fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners

The party is named "Sverigedemokraterna" which is basically "the Sweden democrats" or something.

Basically their ideology is to blame it all on foreigners
They're like.. A light form of racism I guess.

Reminds me of Hitler's party...

I agree with Viikuna on having a free internet with full of love and joy! Jk! Nha, the internet is a warzone with hackers and such... But by making everything free they'll have a harder time!
