Of course, as a Yank I have no right to criticize, but we hear the same sort of garbage down here from Democrats. The Green Party has no inherent right to anyone's vote or membership. If the Canadian Green Party wants supporters of the Pirate Party to join their efforts instead of forming their own party then the Greens must do the outreach needed to get them on board. I personally believe that many Pirate Party members or potential members would feel as at home in the Green Party as I do. Even so, to suggest that they should not organize as a separate party is not taking what I believe is a Green attitude. Adults get to make up their own minds.

After the Swedish success the German Piratenpartei is not massively gaining ground in terms of membership, organisation building and news coverage. The important aspect here is the creation of coverage in all the states. Pirate parties shape the debate because they develop new methods for the participation of their constituency. We can exchange best pratices across borders. For crucial policy assaults on our digital freedoms as ACTA we need to build international structures, because they affect Canada, the US, Mexico, Europe, etc. Believe me, the Pirate Party is necessary and sents a strong message towards other parties.
