Pirate Party of Israel is Running in October 2026 elections

 The Pirate Party of Israel is back on the ballot! Israel is a very contentious country, featuring a vast range of political ideologies. The Likud party under Netanyahu has held onto power for much of the past decade, during which time the country´s citizens, institutions and image have suffered tremendously. The country has a very fragmented multi-party political system, and fringe parties routinely catch on public sentiment and win seats in Knesset (Israeli parliament). The country went through five national elections in just over three years, from April 2019 to November 2022. A list must receive at least 3.25% of votes to get into parliament, making the threshold a formidable …

Czech Pirates are joining the new government!

Czech Pirates are joining the new government! In a momentous vote, the Czech Pirates (Česká pirátská strana) approved their participation in the forming five-party coalition government. Thus set to make the Czechs the very first Pirate Party being a member of a government; in the entire world. In early October, the election took place.

They run on a joint ticket together with the STAN party (Mayors and Independents) and with 15,6 % of the vote got 37 MPs in the 200-seat lower house. Problem being that due to heavy preferential voting by the STAN voters, seats in the Parliament …
