Political Revolution?

Following the lead of the successful Swedish "Pirate Party" a group of German activists have started their very own pirate party.
The Party has stated goals of gaining a "Transparent Government" instead of a transparent citizenry. The idea being that the Government should stop monitoring the population all the time. They also want the Legislation changed to restrict patent and copyright laws covering certain subjects such as Software and Genetics patents.
So far the party has enjoyed limited success in Germany but despite this they have now gained recognition as an official political party and can put a candidate in for the next Election.
Sounds like a good idea to me!
