[pirate at valio.ch]

Ahoy Antonio,

Was your criticism targetted at my message?
If so I don't really get it.
What I said was, that people should be encouraged to start a pirate  
party *IF* there is none yet in their territory.

I agree that if there is a treshold for elections, small parties -  
where one might be a pirate party - are hardly succesful in getting  
into it. I personally hope that in those cases small parties are  
considering to merge up in order to remove those static tresholds.  
They do nothing good at all, but to distort the will of the people. I  
have not seen yet any reason for them that is sound IMO; but I'm not  
going into details here as it is OT.
