If a party gets nearly a million votes in a country of only 30 million, are they really not accepted by “people in large numbers?”

” . . . due to our antiquated single-member plurality . . .”

Maybe it’s due to the greens policies not being accepted by people in large numbers rather than our electoral system. Our system rewards people who appeal to large numbers of voters rather than allowing for unpopular ideas to steamroll on in to areas where elected officials are trying to do real work.

Actually, the swedish member didnt walk across the floor, the PiratPartiet MEP has merely joined forces in the Greens/European Free Alliance group.

Meaning that he is going to support them on non-Pirate issues.

Also, the Green Party has had copyright reform policies on their platform for 3 years, and has yet to make any kind of real push or statement about them, they sit on the side, forgotten.

This is why we are here.

Good post but the Green Party of Canada (GPC) already has copyright policies that are fairly close to the sentiments of the Pirate Party (like how the elected Pirate Party member in the EU just switched to the Greens) and with the GPC’s open grass-roots policy development process I think the members of the Pirate Party would find more success by joining the Green Party of Canada.
