The Pirate Party.

Party for the Pirates.

In June of this year the European union has it's elections. A total of 496 198 605 people in 27 countries will be affected by the outcome. This means that this is just as important as the elections for the senate and congress of the U.S.

Europe is going to the polls. And in Sweden it looks like The Pirate Party is going to get the acquired votes for a chair in the EU-Parliament. This party is a minority party that is based on the idea that information should be free. That downloading should be free.

France just past a law that will exclude people who download from the Internet. Sweden past a law that gives the government the right to monitor in reality all Internet traffic is the country. And many more countries around the world are passing laws that can be used to turn normal people into criminals for sharing information. So the time is right, I believe that there is a use and a need for a party like this. Just like the small environmental party's back in the day. They helped the green movement. Now there is a need for a Pirate Movement.

Because information should be free, the Internet should be free. Without freedom of speech we're screwed. So remember to vote. You can also start your own Pirate Party in the country you live. Who knows you might one day be a parliamentarian in the EU.
