    I considered voting for them, but I didn’t.

      Well as a represenetive of the Swedish Pirate Party I can only speak for them. But here in Sweden we don’t only focus on “IT stuff”, but also things like for exampel Immigration, Education, Klimate and Cultural politics and allot more! And from what I have understood from our fellow European Pirates they do to! Maybe not all but if they don’t have it yet I’m sure they are working on it! And I’m sure that if you where to talk to them they would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

      After all we are all equals on the Pirate Ship!
