We are not inventing: there are even pirate parties. They started in Sweden and a few days ago one had almost 14,000 votes in Germany.
The Germans were voting last Sunday in the early elections that were held due to the Olaf Scholz.
As expected, the CDU/CSU coalition, AFD was in second place and the SPD fell to third place.
When peeking them, we noticed that, in the middle of 29 parties, there was such a “Piratenpartei Deutschland.” Yes, the Pirate Party.

And yes, there is also in Portugal: It is the (PPP). It is against the “disguised attempt of global suppression of our rights, freedoms and guarantees.” The copyright system is “old -fashioned, not suitable for new technologies.” The PPP has never been able to enter the voting newsletters.
In Germany, the pirates got 13,809 votes last Sunday. There were 0.03% of almost 50 million voters who voted.
