    The Pirates becomes the most popular political party in Iceland

    After only starting two-and-a-half years ago, Iceland's push towards change seems to be gaining momentum

    Iceland is going under some serious political change.

    The country's Pirate Party, formed under three years ago, is now leading one political poll.

    The Pirate Party idea started originally in Sweden as an organisation advocating direct democracy, freedom of information, anti-corruption and net neutrality.

    Since then, parties with the same name and similar values have popped up around the world.

    Iceland's Pirate Party are already the first Pirate Party in the world to gain a Parliamentary seat.

    I don't think they have a stance on immigration yet but I did find this on their website:


    EQUALITY

    Pirates view equality as a question of fundamental human rights which should be guaranteed by law and by society. It is not enough that individuals have legal protection against one form of discrimination while another form thrives undisturbed in society – and inequality will never be rooted out completely through legislation alone; people’s attitudes need to be worked on by all possible means. Pirates dislike all stereotypes and delusions about individual groups in society that prevent people from thriving on their own terms. Pirates want not just tolerance but for everyone to be accepted and appreciated.

    THE EUROPEAN UNION

    Pirates stand for transparency and direct democracy. Therefore we want the whole accession process to be open and for all information to be available. The public should then make a well-informed decision via a binding referendum. It is not the role of political parties to decide for or against EU membership, but they should be prepared for either decision.

    WELFARE

    Pirates want to bind a minimum living wage standard into law. Everyone deserves a decent income in a wealthy country. The welfare system needs to be simplified and those who receive benefits, be it invalids, the disabled, the elderly or the unemployed, need varied employment, recreation, and educational opportunities. Conditions on the rent market should be improved in order to make housing that’s emptied and unoccupied available on the common market.


    Not sure if this is the kind of party you would vote for.

    That's great for you. I voted for the Pirate Party of Greece in the previous elections but unfortunately Greeks were not ready to leave their old habits aside so they got less than 1% in the whole country.
