Heyo! I'm an anthropologist and filmmaker in Iceland and have talked with Ásta about this before (sup Ásta) but would love to know what inspired each of you to join the Pirate Party and what you want to see for the future of Iceland. Also, based on my interviews with Icelanders all over the country the last year the consensus is that the next economic crisis is around the corner (folks say to count the construction cranes in the sky) - Do you think the next crisis in inevitable and what will the Pirates do to address the problem at the root? (I'm giving a paper on the Panama Papers, Pirates and Utopic narratives in Iceland on Friday at the University of Iceland so this is for SCIENCE!)

For sure, Ásta! I'll PM ya on the hang out! Thanks for the answer! I'm dipping my toes into the well of the culture of Icelandic financial regulation - legality and morality in policy and practice - and I've heard that the financing this time is much better but that who you know still makes a big difference in getting contracts and subsidies. Since the Pirates advocate transparency and are now polling at 20%, how do you all think these old practices can be reconciled with new desires for illumination?
