Hello,<br><br>We got a question from a journalist about Pirates' participation in elections. He asked whether the Canadian Pirate Party's candidate in the upcoming
by-election in Winnipeg North marks the first running of a Pirate Party
outside Europe. Is he really the first one outside Europe?<br><br>Afaik there have been candidates that have been endorsed by Pirate Parties in the US, but no own Pirate candidates. I can't recall any candidatures from South-America, Asia or Africa. According to the FAQ from the Australian PP they are not yet officially recognized so no candidates there.<br>
<br>That would mean that Yes, the Canadian candidate is the first one outside Europe. I that correct?<br><br>Thank you for your help,<br><br>Jerry <br>
