OK - while I'm a staunch advocate for the protection of privacy of information and p2p activity and the overall fight against the greedy assholes who deliver basically any kind of media, this is just stupid. It's like forming a party who's only mandate is to have greenhouse gas emmissions lowered. You can't base a party manifesto on one (and it's really only one) issue. Let's say somethign weird happened and these guys we elected - aside from being pirate central for about 2 months (until they were kicked out and a new government had to spend many more millions fixing what they broke) what would htey do as far as health, law enforcement, education, foreign policy - and basically the non-consumer related issues that are the bedrock of making a country tick? Silly, silly people. I suppose if you have nothing better to do with yuor time and lots of money to waste it would be worth it, but why bother.
