I looked through the brief declaration of goals of the Pirate Party on their website, and those sound great. However, if life taught me anything, it's that I should be skeptical more the more optimistic the prognosis seems. Have the Pirates actually proven themselves on the political ground yet? Is there any grounded reason to believe their reign will bring more prosperity to the country than it currently has?
