European parliament politics confuses me. I'm glad there's at least one party who believes in old fashioned values, who I can get behind.
Yarr!

The great thing is that they made it to get a seat in parliament. Sweden has 18 seats meaning that they needed more than 5.5 % of swedish votes. I hope they can do some good things, but I am skeptical. Also in the european parliament there is a tendency to only look at the rights of record labels and film companies and to be blind for for the legal and privacy implications. These companies always want to be as progressive as possible but when it comes to a 'new' medium they want things to stay as they are. Logical, because they do everything to up their profits, but less amusing that politicians and judges everywhere seem to agree.
