The swedish green party has also been trying to undermine swedish pirate party by saying that the pirate party is unnecessary because the green party already covers these issues. They said this one month before the European elections.<br>
<br>But I agree with aloa5. Green parties will always prioritize the green issues. There is no guarantee that they will not compromise away the pirate issues when they negotiate with other parties.<br><br>The really funny thing is that when the green party started up in Sweden other parties said a green party was unnecessary because the other parties already covered the green issues. Oh the irony.<br>

I wouldn't say it's just propaganda. The uk Greens showed 'STEAL THIS<br>
FILM II' at their conference last year -- so I guess even before<br>
Pirate Party looked more viable, they were thinking about these<br>
issues. Just saying.<br>
