Letter from the Pirate Party of Slovenia – Pirate conference and upcoming election

Raymond Johansen April 15, 2018 April 15, 2018

Hello fellow Pirates! Slovenia is holding parliamentary elections on the 27th of May or 3rd of June! There will be a referendum about the construction of a railroad line (don’t ask) just before that – on May 13th. The Pirates will naturally be running on this election. We’re poling at 3.5% (the threshold for entering the parliament is 4%) and our polling agent tells us that our biggest problem is that we have a lot of support, they’re just too passive to vote. The state of PPSI We’ve been active for 8 years. We’ve attended the 2014 EU elections (2.3%), the 2014 National elections (1.36% – we got ~80k EUR …

Monthly Meetings for International Coordination and Activism!

Bailey Lamon June 15, 2017 August 28, 2017

Hello Pirates! As you will recall if you were at the last PPI General Assembly back in April, there was a discussion about how we really need to meet more regularly. It’s nice to have GAs once in a while, but they’re really not useful when it comes to doing activism together. We need to have regular meetings in order to be able to plan effective campaigns, actions and events. So…let’s make it happen! PPI would like to start bringing together international coordinators and representatives from both members and non-member parties, as well as individuals interested in Pirate Activism, at least once per month. What we do is completely up …

PPI in Support of #PiratesforIceland

Bailey Lamon October 28, 2016 August 28, 2017

Geneva, Switzerland, October 29th, 2016 – This Saturday, October 29th, 2016 is election day in Iceland. As it currently stands, the Pirate Party is polling at 24%, meaning that over 1 in 5 voters are likely to vote Pirate. They are ahead of all the other political parties, including their main opposition, the Independence Party. Regardless of who ends up in the lead, we know that the new Icelandic government will be largely formed by the Pirates, and in fact will have the most Pirates ever elected to any national parliament. This means that evidence-based and forward thinking policies on open government, direct democracy, and ending …
