Please export them. We have one vaguely respectable party in the form of UKIP, and that has a very small niche. |
There is already a Pirate Party in the UK, and I'm quite thankful that its getting trashed in the elections. I don't think they realise the implications would of ever implementing their single policy. Regardless of whether you believe online file-sharing should be legal or not, if it ever became legal everyone would then switch to downloading it all for free. The corporations would then fret over their collapsing revenue (even if it doesn't fall that significantly, they will still want to maintain their levels of profit) and annouce major layoffs and potentially even scrap artists. Considering how many people they employ, the wider economic implications could be horrific.
