Piraten streben nach neuen Horizonten # 24.11.2012 # pirat21f # Journal

Here in Germany, the Pirate Party is trying to turn its ship around ahead of federal elections next autumn. Over the past year, the young party surged into four state parliaments on a wave of popularity. But recent surveys show that if elections were held today, the Pirates would not cross the threshold required to enter the national parliament. So now they are trying to convince voters they are a serious force - which can shake up the political system.
