I know what you mean. With that said I think that one of the reasons it is that way (a game of words) is because all the players use the same rule book.
I often wonder whether a party with a different approach would appeal to voters: I guess this is testing the waters a little :)
- tome 17y agoI think the party will get more votes with a name like "Pirate" because it's automatically assumed the party is not a full political party, but a single (or very few) issue pressure group. It will get free advertising in the form of media publicity this way.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe usual fate of a single issue party is that as soon as it starts to attract voters away from more mainstream parties they will update their programs to reflect the discontent felt by the voters, and like that the ideological element of the single issue party gets 'adopted' (some would say hijacked) by others. Then the voters will flock back, and hopefully some real change is enacted.
- swombat 17y agoThat would be pretty much ideal. If that happens, then the Pirate Party will have served its purpose.
