STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's Pirate Party, striking a chord with voters who want more free content on the Internet, won a seat in the European Parliament, early results showed on Sunday.

The Pirate Party captured 7.1 percent of votes in Sweden in the Europe-wide ballot, enough to give it a single seat. The party wants to deregulate copyright, abolish the patent system and reduce surveillance on the Internet...

Commendable party with good policies on said matters, but more worthy of note is the BNP's success in Europe.

Is that your party?

I have mixed feelings about the BNP to be honest.

I voted for UKIP, BNP have some "policies" I prefer not to be associated with - but their inclusion is good and sends a STERN message to other parties on what is expected of them by the citizens.

They are jokers, their inclusion is not a joke and is a necessary evil like now, time to get the point of the citizens across, not the policies of the "elite" bureaucratic liars.

Well I mentioned this before to you Nordic, I have mixed feelings about what they could do to EU relations; that and some of their members are extremely white collar...

Possibly, but what do you suggest? Tyranny and the continued dictatorship that is the EU? BNP were democratically elected - something the EU wasn't (by the people)... I endorse anything that is naturally selective and based on an averaged politics - I see BNP's inclusion as an healthy sign and quite frankly the BNP's inclusion is more natural and healthy than that forced on me by my "elected" government in the form of the EU.

None of the benefits of the EU will change my opinion on this as long as it exists in the current dictatorship style it is.

I understand what you are saying and even agree to a certain extent. My point is that there are plenty of productive Europeans, not immigrants, who are working and living as normal people in the UK and contributing to it. Well, I guess we will have to wait and see what happens but it would suck it the labour and residency movement were done away with.

I'm not against freedom of movement at all; I'd maybe promote such a thing... even globally. What I am against is an UNELECTED OVERLORD i.e. the EU - I would give up my right to ever leave England again if it meant the EU as it is was abolished. I'm all for going through the political process of suggesting a EU superstate... As long as it is 100% democratically chosen by the populace of the European Union. Any detour no matter how minor is unacceptable.

That is well summarised.
