Amazing that they got 7.1% of the vote for what is essentially a single issue party, almost as much as the Greens.

Finally! Now we just gotta get some pirates into the White House... *hides*

I mean, I think this whole issue has gone too far, people who download a song or two and all the sudden there's this huge war on piracy... seriously, I think 99% of the pirates aren't hurting anyone and it's that 1% that are causing the problem.

Sweden is at the same time sending war ships to Somalia to defeat pirates. I guess those guys are the 1%...
