Pirate Party Gets Second Seat in European Parliament

Everyone laughed at the idea of a “Pirate Party.” That is until they secured a seat in the European Parliament. And now, just a few months later, they have a second seat, occupied by a 22 year old girl.

With the Lisbon Treaty being signed by all European Union member states, the Pirate Party has gained another seat in the European Parliament. The second Pirate Party seat will be occupied by the 22 year old Amelia Andersdotter, who will become the youngest Member of the European Parliament.

2 seats out of 736...

While it certainly beats the 2-party system we have here, I can't help but think that they'll end up effectively being a member of one of the bigger parties and have very little real influence.

/obvious

Not a bad lookin girl either http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-party...iament-091104/

That's what they will do - align with another party that most closely share their view. Some of the established parties in Sweden to have a similar, liberal view on copyright, such as the left party and the green party.

Holy shit, what the fuck is the matter with you? Is the first thing you think of when you see a female a judgment upon the way she looks? How is her appearance even relevant to this story to begin with?

in all seriousness 2 out of 700+ seats isnt gonna make a whole hell of a lot of difference, but it does prove the democratic process can work as long as the people that care enough to get off their ass and vote does so.......our country on the other hand........................

The pirate bay got one wote from me

It was... just an offhand comment. I think your reaction is a bit extreme, to be totally honest.

Great job, Jackal & Guitarrasdeamor.

Nah, not really. It was remarkably stupid.

That's real BS.

Also, congrats to Amelia & PPSE. Getting another MEP seat is possibly the only good thing to come out of the Lisbon treaty. :/

Are you new to the internet?

Fine if you want me to be serious I will. Shes effing 22 years old. More than likely the myelination of her prefrontal cortex isn't yet complete or just finished. She either isn't yet or is still in the transitional period of becoming an adult and settling in to the personality she will have for the rest of her life, but by gosh she has tons of experience in politics and is fit to represent her people!
Can I go back to being an immature testosterone laden anonymous male commenter now?

"When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right."

"And what did the other part think?"

"What her head would look like on a stick..."

/American psycho'd

Now maybe they will be taking us seriously :x

Because that's how the male brain works. No amount of feminist propaganda will change that.

She is a little cutey isn't she. Mmmm If she plays her under table cards right I'm sure she'll have more power soon.

Am I the only one that wonders why things like that ever work?

If someone's smart enough to get themselves into a position of power at that scale, aren't they smart enough to understand the female brain to the point that they're able to get themselves a wife that looks good enough they won't need anyone else?
