I afraid Aftonbladet does not have a English page and they also block Google translate from translating from there URL so you have to cut and paste the translation, but it is not so bad:<br><br>"Pirate Party's success should go for export.
<br>
<br> Already there are lot in around 20 countries. Now expected a rapid influx member.
<br>
<br> - Will it over a certain threshold, it can go crazy fast, "says Henrik Alexandersson, liberal bloggers in Brussels.
<br>
<br> Swedish Pirate Party's success raises startling in Europe. The
attention that can help the party to seriously establish itself
worldwide. <br> Meet frequently
<br>
<br> Except in Europe are party already in North America, Australia and South America.
<br>
<br> The ambition to spread Piratpartiet over the world is very
pronounced. All pirate parties in Europe to meet once every six months.
Latest in Uppsala last year agreed on a common approach, known as the
Uppsala Declaration. <br>
<br> - I have met Rickard Falk Vinge and Christian Engström many times,
"says Jens Seipenbusch, vice-president of Germany's pirate party. <br>
<br> A common e-mail list of all the parties facilitates the exchanges of views.
<br> Hope for change
<br>
<br> For the Swedish Pirate Party's website, anyone can download logos
and other information to start a web page in the party's name. All it
takes is one or more dedicated people who spend a little time. <br>
<br> - Activists who believe that freedom issues are important are in
many countries, "says Henrik Alexandersson, a member of Piratpartiet.
The election result could be the boost to get them to gather their
forces. I am absolutely convinced that Piratpartiet now occurs in
several new countries. <br>
<br> The goal is that parties should ride in the Swedish success wave
and stand in elections and in the next European Parliament elections. <br>
<br> - An absolute ambition is to us after the next election could
create a Pirate Group in the European Parliament, "says Alex Andersson.
<br>
<br> The German Piratpartiet got only 0.9 percent of the votes in European elections, but see it anyway as a success.
<br>
<br> - We have not been as successful reaching out in the media as our
Swedish colleagues, "says Jens Seipenbusch. I hope there can be change
at the moment. That there is a Swedish piratpartist in Brussels means a
lot of movement in all countries. We are not bound by national borders."<br><font color="#888888"><br><br>- Nicolas</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Jens Seipenbusch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seipenbusch@web.de" target="_blank">seipenbusch@web.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>
