How many seats in the European Parliament can get The Pirate Party?

A week later (June 7) elections to the European Parliament will be held. What are the preliminary layouts of the participation of the “Pirate Party” in these elections?

Elections to the European Parliament are held every 5 years in all EU countries. From 2009 to 2014 The European Parliament will have 736 delegates. Sweden will be represented in the European Parliament by 18 delegates, and in order to get into parliament, the party will have to get a little more than 5 percent of the total votes. The figure shows the preliminary layouts as of May 27. By the simplest arithmetic calculations, we get the number of percent that parties need to collect (at the moment) to get 2 votes out of 18 - approximately 10.3%. That, given the increase in the share of The Pirate Party by just 0.3% over the previous week, makes her chances of getting more than one place in the European Parliament unlikely. But for the remaining time, of course, anything can happen, and we have to wait just a week.

“The Pirate Party” is not the first time participating in the elections to the European Parliament, in 2006 she managed to get only 0.63% of the vote in Sweden. After the famous events of this year, the number of party members has grown to 46,000 people. The batch program includes the following items: free file sharing between Internet users, reducing the cost of licensed discs, elimination of patent law, prohibition of DRM systems.
