Why are so many parties focussed on being anti-euro, as somebody who works in the technology trade, this is where a large amount of our business comes from.

Do you not think the Pirate Party image could be improved? I dislike wearing suits, but I wouldn't wear a hoodie for professional marketing shots.

What kinds of things do you think should be patentable, if at all? Do you think some of your policies risk scaring away big business?

Cheers, it sounds like you've done your research (which what I'd hope for anyway)

I am a bit worried about having a referendum over Europe as I get the impression a large number of people don't fully understand the issue, and are too easily swayed by popular media. This is one of the shortcomings of democracy IMO.

(I've already voted for you guys by post btw)

I think something like jeans and a shirt or polo shirt would smarten the look up a bit, without being stuffy and overly formal.

If you visit a school or office the majority will be wearing shirts and trousers as a minimum. I don't think it's about being a separate class, more like making an effort. You could argue that by wearing scruffy looking clothes that you think they are unimportant enough to deserve your presence or attention.

Yeah, to be honest we might be dwelling on a more minor issue now. If the party attire is the biggest issue I (or we) can find fault with, then you're doing a decent job with your policies.

Yeah, but I do expect that if we had a referendum the media would likely turn their tails when it actually came down to it
