Swedish Pirate Party Member To Be EU's Youngest MP

Posted by timothy on from the jumping-the-queue dept.

First time accepted submitter genjix writes "In a few weeks Amelia Andersdotter will be the second Pirate Party member to take a seat at the European Parliament in Brussels. The 24-year-old Swede was voted in more than two years ago, but due to bureaucratic quibbles her official appointment was delayed. TorrentFreak catches up with the soon-to-be youngest MEP to hear about her plans and expectations."

      In this case it looks very deliberate.

      While the photo appears quite flattering for the her, it is possible to be appreciative of a woman's looks without being a dick. It is possible to be assertive and male and geeky without being a dick too. But OP seems quite genuine in his dickishness.

      More important here, is what she is saying, and what that may in time mean for policy in Europe. It is a small start, but a start never-the-less. And it certainly needs refining, but that will come.

      Apparently so, because frankly she's not even that good looking.

      Yeah, wtf. Short hair is a total killer and looks like she can't smile. Oh well, maybe that's why I like Asian girls. They're always smiling and happy, not like these western emo girls.
