Perhaps this should be seen as a demonstration that people are willing to support independent parties more nowadays?

Indeed, a few weeks ago the Moustache Carryi8ng Party of Estonia was formed here, their platform is completely retarded and they are likely to get some seats in the next election.

I'm not sure that's a good thing, however - especially in cases where the parties are oriented towards a single issue.

Isn't it something that off a 20 dollar CD the artist gets like 25 Cents? The pirateparty I think wants to stop this.

The pirate party, as far as I know, wants to remove the power of the entertainment industries so they stop trying to screw people with DRM and such.

Edit: heres their site.

It really should be up to the political system to accomodate parties that are nothing more than special interest groups looking to interfere with private industy.

Still better then all the other political parties who are populated with Conservative old men.

Probably the only political party I could say I'm aligned with, besides the Fascist Dictator party that I will announce my candidacy too, once I become emperor of Earth.

That's an ideologically biased comment if there's ever been one.
