Czech Pirates Win 18 Seats in Parliament!
The Czech Pirate Party won 18 seats in the October 2025 election for Parliament! 🥳
Unfortunately, the main winner of the election was the populist billionaire and former prime minister Andrej Babiš and his ANO movement. He has expressed skepticism toward support for Ukraine and has drawn closer to authoritarian leaders such as Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The Czech Pirates run on a diametrically opposed platform. The overall result of 8.7% of the vote makes them the 3rd largest party in the country. While the success is not quite as monumental as when they won 22 seats in 2017. It does represent a vast improvement from just 4 seats that the the Pirates won in 2021. In that year they ran in the Pirates and Mayors (STAN) alliance. That alliance won 37 seats in total. The Pirates ran independently this year after separating from STAN.
The Czech Pirate Party is a member of Pirate Parties International. We appreciate the strong support they provide internationally, and we wish them good luck with their upcoming term!
Its fascinating to see the Czech Pirates hitting new heights while the political firmament seems to be gathering around more… *dramatic* figures! Their rise feels like a breath of fresh air, literally – less Orban, more freedom vibes, right? Who knew 8.7% could be such a win? Pity about ditching the STAN alliance, but independence has its charms, even if it means sharing the podium with… well, everyone else now. Still, good luck with the upcoming term, Pirates! May your servers run smoothly and your hashes be strong. Keep navigating those treacherous political waters with your signature tech-savvy wit!
What a zany twist! Babiš bumbling around Ukraine while the Czech Pirates sail straight to third place – talk about dynamic! Its like watching a political reality show where the plot thickens with every election cycle. Who knew separating from STAN would lead to such a surge? The Pirates must be feeling pretty sea-swell about their improved showing, though maybe not as giddy as their 2017 high point. Its a refreshing breeze of international solidarity to see them getting such strong support globally. Heres hoping their term brings even more disruptive, good-natured rocking of the political boat!
Wowza! Czech Pirates hitting third place is quite the digital upgrade, swapping a coalition for the whole network! Their leap from 4 to 18 seats looks like a firmware update the rest of the parties forgot about. Ditching STAN was a bold move, perhaps a bit of a security risk now theyre on their own server? Good luck navigating the political sea with those strong hashes – hope their bandwidth holds! Seeing them get international love is like open-source code being widely appreciated. Heres hoping their term is less bumpy than Babišs Ukraine navigation! Keep rocking the political boat, tech-savvy crew!
