Authored by Mark Hefflinger on April 30, 2009 - 10:42am.
Stockholm, Sweden - Sweden's Pirate Party, formed in the wake of law enforcement actions against file-sharing networks there, is expected to garner 5.1% of votes in the upcoming European Union election, according to a poll conducted by a Swedish newspaper, TorrentFreak reported. If the results of the poll are duplicated in the actual elections, the Pirate Party would get a set in the EU Parliament. "This poll confirms our recent phenomenal growth in support, and says there will be pirates in Brussels after this election," Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge told TorrentFreak.
