Another Pirate Party Member Officially Elected Into EU (PPUK) -
November 4th, 2009, 12:25 PM
Today the Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, signed the Lisbon Treaty, which will come into force on the 1st of December. Under Lisbon, the number of MEPs for each member state is changed: Sweden now gets 20 instead of 18. One of these two new MEPs is Amelia Andersdotter of the Swedish Pirate Party, and she joins her colleague Christian Engström, bringing the Pirate Party's strength in the European Parliament to two.
While Pirate Party UK does not have an opinion on the Lisbon Treaty, we are pleased that as a side effect of it, there are now twice as many Pirates in Brussels. Source Before, there was only one Pirate Party Member for Sweden actually sitting in the EU parliament. Now it's official, the second one is taking their seat in parliament!
