The countries where they are already trying to start up parties are
usually very concerned with it, and I've had most of the accounts
from people I've met while travelling. Let's hope this attempt is
more successful or we could also ask people outside Pirate Parties?

I could get you the lead points I've memorized from some of the
countries I've visited.<br>
<br>
Edvinas can provide much more detail than me on Lithuania, but I got
the feeling there that they need 1000 signatures collected at an
offline event, basically amounting to having a very big gathering of
signatorees. In the UK, I remember signatures, but can't remember
how many. I recall the bureaucracy not being very bad. Lithuania had
lots of bureaucracy and even for a standard NGO you can't form one
without having a commercially qualified accountant (expensive!!).<br>
<br>
Joonas will have more info about Finland, and the only thing I
remember from there is that the number of votes you need to get in
varies widely between circuits.<br>
