European Parliament election 2009
June 7th 2009 is the official election day for the European Parliament election 2009 in Germany.
Today I got my personal documents for a postal vote.
I already announced that I will vote for the German Pirate party. It’s a quite young and new political party which origins in the Swedish Pirate Party founded in 2006. These parties (which are founded all around the world) have a common goal: to strengthen the privacy rights for all individuals, to prohibit censorship, to prevent Orwell-like totalitarian governments and states and so forth.
Here is the current TV campaign advertising for the German party:
Parteien zur Europawahl 2009: PIRATEN
I personally think this TV spot is not that good, but keep in mind it’s a young party and therefore they don’t have any public funding yet.
Nevertheless, I’ll support them. And if it’s just to protest against censorship and stupidity and the transition towards a surveillance society.

And of course it’s a protest vote against the old (maybe archaic and fossil, too) established parties. Their TV campaigns and political programs didn’t really convince me. At all.
So, if you live in the European Union, go and vote! Voice your opinion by your vote. Change the system. Or just grab a gun and go crazy monkey shit on your peers, you know, American style.
