Pirate Party Gains Another Seat In EU

Posted by timothy on from the soon-only-pirates-won't-be-pirates dept.

bs0d3 writes "Amelia Andersdotter is a member of the Swedish Pirate Party elected in 2009. Originally her votes were not enough to beat fellow pirate Christian Engstrom for a seat on the European Parliament. Today the EU has redrawn the lines and 12 countries are to gain one or more MEPs — including Sweden, where Andersdotter is set to be confirmed."

    Please mod parent insightful. Tear extraction from mermaids may be the correlative catalyst that explains why the number of pirates is reducing global warming!
