Swedish Voters Keelhaul Pirate Party

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ye'll-get-im-next-time-buckos dept.

Billosaur writes "Apparently the 'scurvy dawgs' are still in control. Results from Sunday's Swedish national election were not favorable for the Pirate Party, according to Wired News. According to the article, 'The Pirate Party not only failed to score the 4 percent required for a seat in Sweden's Parliament, but appears to have missed the 1 percent that would have afforded the party state assistance with printing ballots and funding staff in the next election.' However, the party sees this as a learning experience and morale is still good."

    I think you've mistaken Switzerland for Sweden. Sweden is in Africa.

    I thought America was supposed to be better than other countries since it allows any ideas to participate in the democratic process.

    nah, america is better than other countries because we god loves us and hates everyone else. that's why is says "god bless america" in the bible.
