Score one for Sweden's Pirat Partiet! And I do mean that literally, they may only pick up a single seat out of 700. Still neat though.

In Sweden, the Pirate Party, which advocates shortening the duration of copyright protection and allowing noncommercial file-sharing, looked set to take its first seat with 7.4 percent of the vote.

Why not Viking Party? ItsSomalia thathas the Pirates.
