The Pirate Party UK Launches its 2010 Election Manifesto

22nd March 2010 21:00 by Andrew Robinson

After a huge amount of work by our policy groups, policy group leaders, our manifesto co-ordinator, by the web team who built voting software, and most of all by the members of the party who put forward the proposals and voted democratically on every point, I am very proud to announce that our 2010 general election manifesto is now ready.

At the end of this long process, we have produced a document that I think we can be proud of, and here it is:

The 2010 Election Manifesto of the Pirate Party UK

The Pirate Party is a new type of political party.
A party that talks about issues the other parties ignore.
A party free from corruption and expenses scandals, free from lobbyists and party whips.

A party that is not left wing or right wing.
A party that admits it doesn't always have all the answers, and is willing to listen.
A party that wants to give you more rights not burden you with any more taxes.

Our manifesto covers 3 main areas: copyright and patent law; privacy law; and freedom of speech.
