Leaders Update - There's never been a better time to go Pirate
7th March 2013 17:16 by Loz Kaye
We've had quite a few new members join the party since my last update. So welcome all, and thanks to all of you who continue to be part of this party and those of you who have volunteered to help. We've been through quite a big media focus recently and it's time to expand our work on the ground to cope with the interest in Pirate politics. So that means a new and bigger team. We have a new board and it's time to expand the team further, we'll need new people to help with press, new candidates, new treasury team, new people to support my work as Leader, help with ongoing policy, and new members for the board.Right now, we need someone to step in as leading the Press Team while the excellent Harry Percival takes a step back for a bit to write a book... Take a look at the job spec here if you are at all interested in getting our message out. The media side of our work is never dull, I can promise you that!

As usual, it consists of a careful mix of truth, lies, delicately chosen misleading statistics and precisely spun industry snapshots. TorrentFreak have published some initial analysis. While we go through the report with a fine-toothed comb and a magnifying glass to try and figure out what's really going on, my take on the situation can be found after the cut.
