Pirate Party wins seats at EU table
Sweden’s Pirate Party has won 7.1% of Swedish votes in the Europe-wide ballot, comfortably over the 4% threshold and enough to give it two seats in the European Parliament.
Roughly 200,000 citizens voted for the party, making it the fifth most popular party in Sweden and the largest party representing under 30s, as well as beating more established parties like the Christian Democrats and the Centre Party.

While they managed to get into the Parliament, unfortunately their collegues at the Pirate Bay were astonished when the Stockolm Court ruled that the TPB judge, member of two pro-copyright groups, wasn't biased.
