I want to like this party, but it's been partially compromised by non-pirate politics, such as "trans rights", and it says that the civil liberties it believes in must be "exercised responsibly", whatever that means.
Maybe I should become a member and try to change it from the inside.

It's a shame first past the post makes it hard for small parties to get any influence.
Ideally, we'd vote on policies rather than parties. But that might not be practical at the moment.

Also, it's an offshoot of an offshoot. The same people are unlikely to be involved.
Whatever other policies the government has, it should respect free speech and an open internet.
I mean, to be fair, "pirate" was an insult from media company associations, not a self-description.
I am not familiar with it, but I'm guessing it's about digital piracy (obviously) and freedom and supports breaking any laws that don't allow that?
Maybe, but you'd expect them to at least in appearance be pro-law when they make a political party.
Although, I wonder if there's anything actually stopping them from coming out and saying "you can break the law if the law is unjust"?
