I hope so.

That might very well be true,  but we have some ideals that we can't sell in 
the name of anything. Pirates don't sell themselves to any political party 
and that statement of the declaration says pretty much so.

Be sure that the spanish pirate party has not other thing in mind for the 
european elections than being in the mixed group. We can't accept (as in, not 
even our statutes allows that) to join another party and vote for other 
things that are not our main concerns. We have limited ourselves in our 
statutes to only having some major topics and abstain ourselves in the rest 
and that's for a reason.
