I can safely say that at least the members of PPFI oppose election thresholds, as the threshold in Finland is currently being raised.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 11:03 AM, Sven Clement <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sven.clement@gmail.com">sven.clement@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I blogged today (quite short at <a href="http://sven.lu/blog/2010/08/against-election-thresholds/" target="_blank">http://sven.lu/blog/2010/08/against-election-thresholds/</a>) about election thresholds and I think that Pirates should firmly stand against thresholds in elections, but as I said it's an opinion and I wanted to know how some of you guys think about it.<br>
<br>
I know it's not one of our foremost concerns at the moment with ACTA, INDECT and the like, but I think it's a very important topic for every Pirate Party running in upcoming elections where there is a threshold.<br>
<br>
Please let me know your thoughts,<br>
Sven<br>
