In the meantime, the Pirate Party's membership numbers have apparently boosted up to 19,350; more than the Swedish Greenies, Left, and Liberals. The party's leader has said that the Pirate Party will win MEPs in June Cheesy.

Canada needs a Pirate Party.

I like their lead statement in giant letters on their website: http://thepiratebay.org/
Don't worry - we're from the internets. It's going to be alright. :-)

Try all they want, they can't kill piracy and file-sharing. It's unstoppable.

Too true. Kill one torrent site and a few more will take its place.

Let's hope they win some seats. Have there been any Euro election polls for Sweden?

Yes, though conveniently the Pirate Party was not polled.

An interesting tidbit: the Pirate Party's youth affiliate is the largest youth party/organization in Sweden Grin

Note: the reason they "can't" pay is that they have cheated on their taxes for many, many years and owe huge amounts of money to the state already because of it.

The guy who does have money and will pay is a bit bummed though. Given that he is an active Nazi and has been convicted of beating an immigrant I can't say I feel sorry for him.

I hope they rot in jail at least for a while...
