Overview over the PP NDS convention | PirateTimes

Overview over the PP NDS convention August 31, 2012 · by Justus Römeth · in Pirate Party News After the successes the German pirates had in the state elections in Berlin, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and North-Rhine-Westfalia, it has become a bit quieter, resulting in them dropping back to 6% in recent election polls.

A success in Lower Saxony (last polls: 7%) would help tremendously to make 2013 an overall success. On the …

General elections in the Netherlands | PirateTimes

General elections in the Netherlands August 24, 2012 · by Anouk Neeteson · in Election You may have missed it, but Holland is slowly but surely being gripped by election fever as election night creeps closer. It is still a while away though, as they’re being held on 12th of September. Yet the electioneering battle has already started, still low key, as the various parties position themselves.

A recent poll still puts them at 2/150 seats at the house of representatives. With another three weeks before elections take place to get …
