In Czechia (where a pirate party is currently a part of the government) it was IMHO quite the reverse - the Czech Pirate Party mostly gained popularity by accenting ordinary center-liberal political themes.

Once they fleshed out their platform they ended up overlapping heavily with the NDP and Greens (particularly the Greens). I think many Pirate Parties have fallen into similar traps when they fleshed out their platform.

There are Greens in Czechia but they are more left-progressive (compared to center-liberal pirates) and they are unacceptable for many because of their anti-nuclear position.
