EuroParl ahoy!

We’re in. That’s pretty much the long and short of it. With no political pedigree and no large financial backers to speak of (go go crowdfunding!) the Swedish Pirate Party has earned itself one definite seat in the European Parliament. We’re gonna set a new course for Europe, if not directly this term, then indirectly by inspiring other Pirate Parties to form and participate in the elections in 2014. Using the Internet should never mean that you are subject to continuous surveillance in and of itself, and this weekend 7.1% of the Swedish vote agreed with us. I bet several of the traditional parties in Sweden are still reeling from the broadside we delivered, and most likely will be for some time. 

Most important now in my opinion is to start work on all the preparations for our national election next year. We left Falkvinge back home in Sweden to make sure we have a strong presence here for that election. As part of these preparations we should make sure that all we do in the EuroParl are fully transparent to our voters. If we can show results in our issues down in Brussels much will be gained in the upcoming national election.
