Quote: Darren Pomroy @ May 22 2009, 10:42 AM BSTI was late to work this morning because I didn't run for my train. I could have made it if I ran, but I just couldn't help thinking if I don't make it I'll look like a right idiot. Anyone else feel the same.

The thought of multinational elections makes me scratch my head.

In a way, yes.

They represent issues that have been mostly ignored by established parties. For example, that privacy protection has to be organised differently in times of the internet.
Inneresting, inneresting.
I wasn't registered in time to vote for this. I feel so foolish, I was really looking forward to my first vote.

Nope.
According to Wikipedia there's a UK version. Pirate Party UK. Just not on your ballot, it appears.

But you live in the United *States* of America! I doubt that the difference between Finland and Italy is much bigger than the difference between New Hampshire and Texas. Political culture wise.

That's the point - they want it to be one country.
