I probably would be member of the pirate party if I lived in Sweden. Their goal is stated:
"The Pirate Party wants to fundamentally reform copyright law, get rid of the patent system, and ensure that citizens' rights to privacy are respected. With this agenda, and only this, we are making a bid for representation in the Swedish parliament in the upcoming national elections in September"

Here is the Swedish website of the Pirate Party

And here is info in English:

But since there is no Pirate party in Iceland I am an active member of the Progressive Party in Iceland - it is a farmers party considered by many to be the most corrupt in Iceland - perhaps because it is almost impossible to form government without the Progressive party - meaning that this party is almost always in power. Now the party has about half of the ministers in the government but has less then 10% of the votes of the people. My long term goal is to promote open source in this political setting and try to build up democratic social movement.]]>
