[pp.int.general] The United Kingdom Party is Officially Recognised

[Rodrigo Rodrigues da Silva]

Congratulations from the Brazilian Pirate Party, which is not official
(yet!).

In a huge country like Brazil, with strict electoral laws when it comes to
founding a new party, we need 'only' 500,000 signatures to get the party
officially registered.
