Pirate Party Success in European Parliament Elections

By Michael Geist

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Pirate Party, which is focused on digital rights, has enjoyed great success in today's European Parliament elections. The big news is that the Swedish Pirate Party won 7.1 percent of the national vote, good for at least one seat in the European Parliament (and possibly two seats). By comparison, the Green Party in Canada won 6.8 percent of the vote in the 2008 election. In Germany, the newly established Pirate Party won nearly 1 percent of the vote or roughly 250,000 votes.
