How the Pirate Party could win seats at the next Australian Election
- hughprime 17y agoA pretty good analysis. The Senate system is slightly crazy and often somewhat random in the way the last senator from each state gets elected, so they do have a chance. The only big problem is that the "respectable" parties may not like the idea of doing preference swaps with a party called the Pirate Party. I guess it'll also depend on whether they run on a relatively sane platform or a completely wacko platform.
