Unfortunately the German "pirates" managed to kill the whole idea even before they were voted into parliament.
As far as I know, the original idea by the Pirate Parties was to have an opinion in the areas that unite their members (online privacy, copyright, etc.) and to leave the rest to the other parties.
Unfortunately the German Pirate Party now also tries to deal with all kinds of topics such as economics, education, gender politics, etc.
Maybe they've managed to get some additional voters that way, who don't care about the original topics that much. But at they same time they've made theirself unelectable for their original target group, as I guess that there are many people who don't agree with their opinions.

Especially the German pirate party also has a strong position on privacy. I think they are still doing a good job on those things, especially when looking at the other parties.
