Default Re: The Pirate Party is Increasing Around The World

The Pirate Party is good for democracy.

When the corporations put their puppets in the government, or sponsor the candidates, who is representing the public?

The rest of the so called independent politicians, have to deal with all the lobbyists.
This is from Wikipedia;
"Currently around 15,000 Brussels-based lobbyists (consultants, lawyers, associations, corporations, NGOs etc.) seek to influence the EU’s legislative process. Some 2,600 special interest groups have a permanent office in Brussels. Their distribution is roughly as follows: European trade federations (32%), consultants (20%), companies (13%), NGOs (11%), national associations (10%), regional representations (6%), international organizations (5%) and think tanks (1%)"

So who is paying all these people? So much for democracy without corruption.

They already got it so far in court, that the individual must prove that he/she isn't guilty. This is definitely pushed through by the corporate world. Look at how the copyright business deals with the individual. In the past, they had to prove, based on evidence, that an individual was guilty.

The Pirate Party is trying to counteract these practices.
