Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use of free and open-source software, free sharing of knowledge (open content and open access), information privacy, transparency, freedom of information, free speech, anti-corruption, net neutrality and oppose mass surveillance, censorship and Big Tech."

I've been voting pirate party for years now, though thankfully I am in a country with ranked choice / preference voting so I'm not damaging democracy by voting for a third party, in fact I believe I'm actively helping democracy by using the tools given to me.

In Australia they are now part of the Fusion Party, which combines pro-science, pro-choice, pro-environment and secular minor parties.

I was a member in Oz, but don't walk the same line as many parties they linked in with. So lost me then sadly.
