Update: Iceland’s Pirate Party and What Could Happen for Bitcoin

Iceland’s Pirate Party was the subject of several news bulletins regarding its run in last Saturday’s elections. Granted the party achieved major success, members of the group would make up nearly a third of the parliamentary seats.
The elections have come and gone, and while many consider the Pirate Party to be the subject of shortcomings, the organization has still managed to achieve success in an otherwise biased election. The Pirates have earned a total of 14.5 percent of parliamentary control. This brings their number of seats from three to ten. It’s not exactly what members had been reaching for, but it’s considered a prominent start to a new beginning.
Party leader Birgitta Jonsdottir spoke of the results with an air of optimism:
‘Our internal predictions showed 10 to 15 percent, so this at the top of the range… We knew that we would never get 30 percent.’
