Why the UK Needs the Pirate Party 363

Posted by samzenpus from the representative-piracy dept.
Barence writes "The UK Pirate Party wants to reform copyright and patent laws, abolish the surveillance state and increase our freedom of speech, and it's just been recognized as a political party. In this interview with PC Pro, UK Pirate Party leader Andrew Robinson explains how he's planning to shake up the political landscape. 'What we really want to do is raise awareness, so that the other parties say "bloody hell, they've got seven million votes this time out," or one million votes, or enough votes to make them care and seriously think about these issues.'"

The comparison between the two petitions speaks for itself. Mr Brown's popularity has plummeted because of his lack of real leadership in the handling of many recent government issues - the economic crisis, the behaviour of Damian McBride over his "smear" emails and the MPs' expenses scandal, to name but a few.

It is time for nerds to unite and to aim the slashdot effect at the UK government. Residents of the UK and British citizens can sign the following Number 10 petition asking Gordon Brown to resign.
