Anyhow, it’s odd that they’de choose to go with that name because calling themselves “the Pirate Party” is basically declaring their own illegitimacy and their intention to neglect the law.

This shows that many people dont exactly vote for the party they feel represented by the best, but they tend to vote for _winners_. Why this is so I dont know, but because of it, it is crucial for anybody helping the election campaign to explain potential voters that a vote for the Piratenpartei in not “thrown away” in (the probable) case they dont enter the German parliament.

Every frigging vote helps. Every single one. It helps us get future funding, it motivates us more to keep investing our time, it helps the Piratenpartei to get noticed by mainstream media and by future voters we didnt reach this time. The bigger we get, the easier it will be for future voters to consider voting for us.

We really fight for every single vote and for every single election signature. Since this works only once every 4 years, if you have any friend or relative who otherwise never votes, get him to get out and vote for us or something. Help us to make now as big an impact as possible, because who knows how everything will look like 4 years down the road.
