Title: What are you opinions on Iceland’s Pirate Party? Post by: pinkflower on August 17, 2016, 02:14:01 AM The Pirate Party was started by a group of activists, poets and hackers on 2012. Recently it became the largest political party in Iceland and would possibly be forming Iceland's next government.
The radical party is calling for a 35 hour work week, total drug decriminalization and direct democracy. When I first heard about it, I thought it was a joke because who would call themselves as "Pirates" in the world of politics. But now seeing their progress and what they stand for, I would likely support them if I was an Icelander. Title: Re: What are you opinions on Iceland’s Pirate Party?

Not just iceland. They started in sweden in 2005 or 2006. And have spread to some 40 countries. And gained seats in parliaments in a few of those. And in the european parliament as well.

My opinion is that for that as for their treatment of the banking system, Icelandics are far in advance compare to our shitty countries :/ Title: Re: What are you opinions on Iceland’s Pirate Party?

Iceland is a very special case, the people there were so disillusioned by the entire political class, which was all corrupt, that they want new people.

No corrupt party would ever decriminalise drugs or advocate direct democracy. |
