  1. Re:In other news.. by maxwell+demon · · Score: 1 · on Pirate Party Unites In Australia

    During the elections on Germany the Pirate Party there could rake in 2% of all the votes: almost a million people voted for them! Kudos, and keep going!.

    Actually, 845.904 did, according to the preliminary official result. Note that the relevant votes here are the "Zweitstimmen" ("second vote"), as those determine how many people (if any) a party may send to parliament (well, that's not completely true, but the differences are only relevant if the party has larger support, and will be changed anyway because the current ruling has been declared unconstitutional by the Bundesverfassungsgericht (federal constitution court)).

  2. Re:Bravo! by Husgaard · · Score: 1 · on Pirate Party Wins At Least One European Parliament Seat

    The preliminary results say that the german Pirate Party got more votes (229117) than the swedish Pirate Party (214313). Of course Germany is larger than Sweden, so the swedish percentage is higher.

    But as Hurricane78 points out, it is only a matter of time. Sweden is far ahead in the development into a networked society, and 10 or 100 mbps connections to every household in cities is the norm here. As the world develops further into the information society, the Pirate Parties will become stronger and stronger.

    The preliminary official result of the German vote for the European Parliament.

    Noteworthy other small parties: 2.2% invalid votes, 1.7% Freie Waehler (Party of independent voters?), 1.3% REP (extreme right wing party), 1.1% Tierschutzpartei (animal rights party), 1.0% Familie (party for the improvement of families' situations).

    The Pirate Party was mentioned in the "exotic parties" segments of the election shows on public TV and characterized as "trying to abolish copyright" and "wanting free downloads".

  5. Germany 0.9% for the Pirates by prefec2 · · Score: 4, Informative · on Pirate Party Wins At Least One European Parliament Seat

    You need to get at least 0.5% to get money from the state. approx 7 cent per vote. The total results can be found here: http://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/en/europawahlen/EU_BUND_09/ergebnisse/bundesergebnisse/b_tabelle_99.html

  6. CSU actually lost, too by bdraschk · · Score: 1 · on Munich Votes for Linux Migration Plan
    CSU, which has just won the European elections,

    They did win only in the sense of being the getting the most votes (together with the sister party CDU, their relation has been explained already by other posters).
    If you look at the offical results you'll see they lost votes, too. Anyway, this was a federal vote concerning European politics; Linux migration is a municipal affair and the Munich city council has been SPD dominated for ages. Maybe that's what pisses them off.
