Members of Iceland's Pirate Party favour radical policy proposals including total drug decriminalisation, making bitcoin legal tender, and renationalising Iceland’s natural resources.
The party was established only four years ago and its origins lie in a relatively niche online movement advocating transparency, direct democracy, and reducing copyright restrictions.
But it has been doing well in the polls, leading analysts to suggest it may even win enough seats to take the lead in forming a coalition government alongside other left-wing parties – something the Pirates have already agreed to in principle.
"We think that these parties can cooperate very well... I think it will be a very feasible governmental choice," Katrin Jakobsdottir, leader of the Left-Green movement, told AFP.
The Pirates’ sudden rise appears to be mainly due to the fallout from the leak of the Panama Papers in April, which revealed information about a web of offshore accounts – many held by prominent officials and politicians from all over the world.
First numbers are in, they are doing much worse than in polls.
Gavin Wright
how bad?
Owen Robinson
it'll be really interesting to see how this turns out. does anyone know how many immigrants are going to be let in/what their policy on immigration is?
Ryan Scott
Pirate party also plays a role in German politics. Will its succes divide the left more or will it steal right wing votes?
Kayden Murphy
13%
We had some polls earlier this year showing 25-30%, pre-election polls were around 20%.
Jack Bennett
How????
Cameron Reyes
Birgitta Jónsdóttir.
Parker Richardson
Any info on their migration standpoint? Only "hand in hand walking through flowerfields" And secretly thinking they are superior so they only look at migrants as poor weak people that need their help?
Zachary Thomas
Opiates should stay illegal. Quitting them is a nightmare.
Parker Anderson
They are normal leftists. They hold standard leftist opinions.
Gavin Anderson
>migration
Who the fuck is going to migrate to Iceland.
Josiah Morgan
Bjarni Benediktsson did bake a delicious looking cake, they got my vote.
Jacob Thomas
>does anyone know how many immigrants are going to be let in/what their policy on immigration is?
They require every home allowing at least one "aged by war" immigrant in.
Jordan Walker
Omg I want to live under the pirates
Jose Sullivan
Iceland, is your media actually trying to make you afraid of Russian military action?
Kevin Evans
If we were all hwite nations like Iceland we would all be able to elect obscure liberal anarcho parties too without everything going to shit.
Jace Smith
Do you have actually "media"? more then 1newspaper /tv channel?
Anthony Powell
>Pirate party also plays a role in German politics No they dont. They destroyed themselves as they became the Antifa Party
Lincoln Bennett
Is the pirate party anything else apart from a pozzed university dildo nigger party?
Ryder Long
What Russian military actions?
Cooper Lewis
>Like other European populist parties, the Pirates want a referendum on Iceland’s relationship with the E.U., but promise to not conduct the nativist, anti-immigrant stance seen in U.K.’s iteration. “We don’t want to make the same mistakes that happened in Britain”
>“Today’s Iceland is as a rule a closed country – only opening up when we can see some special benefit. People are a treasure. Iceland needs to open up more.” – Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson MP (Pirate Party)
Daniel Carter
I would. I like colder climate and you have alot of space there. But Shitskins would also go there to fuck white women
Jason Nguyen
>Iceland needs to open up more.
He's a scnadocuck, a surprise to no-one.
Ayden Lewis
No
Eli Sanchez
Lithuania is handing out an updated civil defence booklet to citizens telling them what to do in the case of a Russian invasion.
The 75-page manual offers survival techniques and warns readers Russia would not hesitate to use military force against its neighbours, the BBC reported.
>A telephone hotline has even been set up for Lithuanians to report anyone they suspect are Russian spies Woah. Shit is going down
Noah Stewart
no one actually votes for the meme candidates
maybe they should've picked a better name and logo.
Noah Lewis
Didnt the pirate party guy from germany kill someone then committed sudokub recently?>
Jayden Hall
There is Pirate Party in most decent countries. Brazil will most likely have a candidate for the next election.
Hunter White
Yes there was. But he just did 2D Sudoku himself. Should have done it in public
Andrew Butler
Can't you already buy shit already with bitcoin?
David Martinez
Who is Sveinn voting for?
Charles Morgan
nice job trying to meme faggot, Pirates are doing much worse than predicted and the center right Independence is climbing despite getting fucked poll wise after all the shit earlier this year (partially to all the farmers coming out to vote)
Either way too bad the Pirates are faggots, would be nice to have a non retarded party support these kinds of censorship laws
Jonathan Cruz
Maybe because they want open borders for "refugees" and are "gender neutral" feminist cucks.
Chase Lopez
We have always had a good relationship with Russia.
Parker Howard
and borders? and White genocide?
Jaxon Cox
How is it that Scandinavians went from being so based to being total multicultural cuckolds? They are worse than Anglos at times even. I really want to be proud of being Scandinavian myself but it seems like it's filled with faggots nowadays which makes me question if they were ever actually as badass as legend says.
Zachary Price
If they get far imma move to iceland, hope you guys are cool with daddy coming over and staying for a while, since your crazy auntie Sweden got black fever and is getting all crazy sjw
yea, but Viðreisn is a wild card we have no idea where they go
also the Independence jews are better than the socialists but still not ideal
Isaiah Morgan
>bretty good so far, stopping the pirate cucks is a victory
Who's the most right wing party I can shill for?
Carson Johnson
right wing as in jewish capitalist: Independence Party right wing as in opposed to immigrants: National Front followed by the Progressive Party
John Butler
> social democrat Blairites even lower than the best party L M A O
Kevin Myers
this year we had a new anti-immigrant nationalist party, icelandic national front, but the idiots collapsed from internal strife and only ran in two constituencies, disregard them.
the only other "right wing" parties are the progressive party and the independence party, basically cuckservatives
Gabriel Hill
...
Juan Lee
Are you referring to Bright Future? because they're essentially the SD Alliance reskinned and with a more popular figurehead
besides the Left Greens are further left than the Social Democrats
Samuel Ramirez
but in a different way, lots of older left-greens are against the EU
Luke Kelly
So did they win?
Jayden Campbell
yes it's great to see them die out, especially as they had become the flagship party of tolerance and EU membership
Ayden Allen
Left Green is the second most "nationalist" party after the Progressives, more so than the Independents I think they're vehemently against the EU while the Independence party takes a more cautious or neutral tone
but fiscally they're really far left and are not afraid to describe themselves as socialists (even if they're not true socialists)
Landon Bell
no
Elijah Stewart
>electing a meme party. Stay sheltered, ice niggers
Juan Nguyen
Are they funded by Soros in any way?
Aiden Watson
they wont be in the government
Evan Ward
no i think some people are just cucks of their own volition
but the former head of the progressive party here has actually accused Soros of plotting against him lel
Easton Rodriguez
how many icelandic people speak english
Cooper Fisher
everyone
Charles Long
Everyone or no one, depending on how large the gibs are
Liam Scott
essentially everyone but uneducated older people
Luis Gomez
I would vote pp in a heartbeat. Anything for direct democracy. Switzerland is not cucked because of it. Forget their other (((policies)). DD is incredibly valuable.
Evan Mitchell
why is it always the panama papers
fuck off cunts
WE DINDU NUFIN
Jason Ward
after seeing so many countries vote for their own genocide i would rather remove democracy altogether desu senpai
Dylan Morales
>accept bitcoin
Christian Nguyen
Just got back from Iceland, loved it there. All of you, guy or girl seem desperate to fuck as many of us tourists as you can before you disappear into your dark winter sleep though.
Your housing in Reykjavik is visually no different than soviet bloc housing tho, that shit needs to change.
John Jackson
iceland looks really... cool... haha you just got punned
Colton Cook

Charles Foster
color scheme needs a bit of work but otherwise pretty nice
Daniel Hill

Julian Gutierrez
The party has potential although the party itself is the worst
Lucas Butler
All the houses in this area were gigantic apartment concrete blocks.

Logan Kelly

Zachary Bailey

Liam Morgan

Dylan Sanders

Asher Powell
>tfw 200 grand in bitcoin
Is Iceland a nice place to live?
Brayden Ross
lmao that's 101, downtown, worst place in the country. only tourists and hippies live there. we only go there drunk at 1am on weekends
Caleb Thomas
pretty bad and the pirates worst among them along with the social democrat alliance the left greens are bad too but not as bad
Brayden Hall
very bad, it's the price of being so white
Levi Hill
no it's terrible there's nothing for you here
Jonathan Rivera
Nope, most are pissed off because we followed some bitches for a ban
Zachary Martinez
That looks nice from really far away, just like a flock of sheep.
Jose Gonzalez
how's the whole 'getting a wife' thing work out there? are your women all like bjork?
Zachary Baker
that's a retarded question
Justin Carter
That could house all of Iceland.
Yea I figured as much, ya'll are a bunch of fun drunks especially when you forget that the sun never goes down and realize uve been drinking til 8am.
Nolan Long
Ég hef áhyggur þar sem grænu ógeðin eru að nudda sér upp við sjálfs.
Camden Morales
you'd like it in breiðholt in east Reykjavík then it's the closest thing we've got to actual commie buildings
Ethan Butler
we blame Jews but it seems whites are their own worst enemies. I'd say it's about 20% Jews and 80% whites own doing.
Benjamin Roberts
no but really how can I find myself a nice icelandic qt to bring home to the folks?
Benjamin Sanders
já, en þau eru svo skattaglöð og svo pirruð út í kvótagyðingana að það gengur vonandi ekki upp
Brayden Roberts
first step is not being on Sup Forums at 3:30 am
Nicholas Perry
i have yet to make it past this step
Jace Harris
Literally tinder, got over 30 matches in 2 days there. There was not a day without sex. They were all qt, but not sure what you are lookin to show off to mammy and papi.
Christian Harris

Bentley Baker
You met a bunch of Icelandic whores and they just fucked you the first date?
