Actually politics is a joke in the UK, as is much of the legal and financial systems; its pwned by corporations (legal psychopaths), via the corrupt Political Class. See “The Corporation”, Reaper series 2 episode 12, and
http://www.tpuc.org, for the blunt facts.

Plato’s Democracy is a scam, he gave modern politicians all the rationalisations, and conceptual tools, to con us into thinking we have a real choice in such a system.

We won’t see real change until the state gets back to basics, like defence of individual sovereignty, and by extension national sovereignty, and proper defense of Common (Lawful) Law, before commercial law i.e. eject the PC corruption, foreign interference (including the EU), and wasted ‘charity’ abroad, and bring back proper Capitalism, not this perveted corporate externalisation people mistakenly call Capitalism.

Copyright abuse is only part of the attacks against individual sovereignty, so single issue parties like this are not the solution.

If I thought any party could help, I’d prefer the Libertarian Party UK, over the corrupted UKIP, however I see the BNP as more capable of fighting the major party tyranny, despite their Socialist flaws.

The name is pretty adequate too as the words piracy, pirate and the likes are now used to classify innocent people along with the criminals. I do hope the pirate parties take actions against the people actually making money selling copies on the streets and show the industry and the law makers where they should be striking.

They don’t stand a change against my strap on dildo powers

The mainstream politicos in the UK are all phail. They all saw this during the EU elections. Labour who are currently in power came FOURTH!

The people DEMAND change and we WILL have change.

Now… wait for the party to be outlawed as they are trying to do to with other parties.

If you don’t want search engines snooping on your results, it’s the only way to go. They even have anonymous torrent search in some of their country versions like Australia:

Perhaps we should make our own party? :P Hahah

It was only a matter of time before someone decided to set up an anti-copyright party… but i hoped that the people who did it would have more sense than to call the party ‘Pirate Party’.

We’re British for God’s sake – we’re not brash or brazen.

The ‘Anti-Copyright Party’ or the ‘Digital Party’ would have been waaaay better choices.

“The officers and web team have built the framework that the party needs to get going, now it’s time for the public to make things happen,”

Let me translate – ‘ I have done the bare minimum to get this party officially recognized, now i’m going to sit back and let enthusiastic people do all the work, whilst i collect the ‘regular payment to provide financial support’ checks”.

What a disapointment :(

Pirate party will have to address the issue of EU membership at some point otherwise all this Freedom of Speech and freedom of corruption will just be hot air.

There is a £500 enrty to contest ONE constituancy, there is no chance that the PP will have a large enough budget to stand in many areas so you will probably not be able to vote for them since you can’t vote in a different constituancy.

The only hope for them is to become a pressure group and focus on demonstration, legislation and education. It is naive for them to think they can have any impact, especially since their leaders have no political background and seem to think that they have popular support which unfortunatly they do not.

People will be to busy voting Conservative in our next election to even bother with the small parties. But even less will vote, I can see the electoral turnout being less than the 49% in 2001.

Piracy restricts near everyone

The PPUK may have a marginally-better shot at the Greater London Assembly, Welsh Assembly or Holyrood (all party-list PR). Partnering with the Green Party, they may even get a few local council seats if they run sophisticated campaigns. But Commons? Only a Jorge Tauss-like defection from a major parliamentary party seems like a remotely likely scenario.

And the US does have a Pirate Party… but I kind of don’t agree with anything in their agenda other than the copyright issues.
