[pp.int.general] Spain just got 4 elected pirate councillors

[Antonio Garcia]

Yes, I can perfectly understand WHY we are having so many troubles with you in Spain since a few hotheads decided to part away from Pirata Spain just because they ABSOLUTELY wanted to play games in the Catalan regional elections while our statutes were not ready to allow that... and the party had been globally run that childishly BY ALL that it would have been impossible to organize the necessary to have the statutes changed (and without the guarantee that you would get the needed 2/3 majority of members behind you).

Hello,
>> That in turn depends on what you consider a "pirate" <<

Exactly. And I'm sure this will be different for every person that reads this thread.  :)
I don't intend to convince anyone of anything. That's why I explained in detail the different candidatures and posted the links where you can read the list of requisites, so that everyone can draw their own conclusions whether those candidatures are pirate or not. As I said, this is very personal.
>From our point of view, since our goal is to change society, we don't care so much whether it's a registered pirate bottom sitting in the councils or whether we convince other people that pirate ideas and practices are a good idea, and it's them who carry them out. As I said, to me, a person convinced of pirate ideas and carrying them out is a pirate, I don't need to give them a "club membership" so that I authorise them to be what they already are, but I can see how some people may feel differently.  :)
Greetings,
