In the European Parliament Elections, Sweden's "Pirate Party" have secured a seat in Brussels!
They gained 7% of Swedish votes and will have at least one of the 18 seats allotted to Sweden.
The Pirate Party is focused on three main goals: "to fundamentally reform copyright law, get rid of the patent system, and ensure that citizens' rights to privacy are respected."It is now the third biggest party by membership in Sweden, and have only been going since 2006.
Gives hope to anyone thinking of getting involved in politics :-)
