Didn't want to take anything away from the Canadians, just thought
that, when speaking to the press, it could be good to note that the
students indeed have nothing to do with the movement PPI represents.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

who got elected in a town in Russia? Was that in the
European part of the country?<br>

<div>He was not elected, but got "only" 20%. It was in the city
of Shumerlya, and this is located in the center of the
European part of russian federation. It is outside of European
Union, but still on the European continent. </div>

mention the students in the US, and that they are not
affiliated with PPI or PPUS (I would, at least).</span></blockquote>

<div>No point in making the achievement of the Canadian Pirate
Party any smaller. Those Students don't share anything with the
pirate movement but a name. But so does also the Pitsburgh
Pirates (a US baseball team) Croyden Pirates (UK baseball),
Portland Pirates (hockey), East Carolina Pirates and Hampton
Pirates (university sports teams), Cornish Pirates (rugby), East
Kilbride Pirates (UK football team), Orlando Pirates (South
Africa football), Essex Pirates (basketball), Pool Pirates (UK
racing team), or the football club of Bristol "Rovers" who are
nicknamed Pirates. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it would be of no sense pointing to the sports trophies of
those "Pirates", even if they happened to be outside of europe. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What come to my mind, is that the Pirate Party in Peru got
two people elected to the Commission for the Development of the
Information Society (CODESI) <a href="http://www.codesi.gob.pe/" target="_blank">http://www.codesi.gob.pe/</a></div>
