Yarr!
Thank you Simon Sharwood for keeping us in touch with whatever the Pirate Party is doing anywhere in the world. This Poll must have given Simon quite a hard on. However, Iceland has a population smaller than Stoke-on-Trent, and would not be in the list of the 20 largest UK towns.
In Germany the Pirate Party was a genuine political force until they actually entered Parliament:

And the Party was wiped out in Europe, save for the strange Ms. Reda, their only remaining MEP.
It would seem that a manifesto of "stop telling me off for stealing" is not an inspiring vision for society, and in the end privacy is too important to be left to adolescents.
