thank you <3 - in regard to increase the popularity for the goals and popularity that is related to the Pirate Party values in the USA, i think it is important for the Pirates of the USA to work more with us in Europe, for we are doing lots of experimentation with liquid democracy and how to plug that into traditional rep governing/serving so that we can move this need for transforming politics through quicker. It is critical that we address issues of the fact that our laws do not reflect the 21st century. I think many people can relate to that. Our platform in Iceland is based on direct democracy, making laws for the 21st century in regard to FOI and expression, privacy, decriminalization of drugs based on the Portugal example from 2000 and to make iceland into a internet friendly country inspired by http://immi.is.

yes and NO - a lot of this stuff is misreported. Less than a week ago we had the darkest day of our parliament, where the parliament ignored a national referendum in relation to our new constitution written for and by the people of Iceland. It will be up to the Icelandic people if they will ignore this dark deed by voting for the parties that did this. That is all parties except the only I am a representative for (the movement). We did however pass a great FOIA based on the guidelines in a parliamentary proposal I sponsored in 2010 called IMMI. We have had more national referendum since the financial crisis than in any time in our history. We as a nation managed to stop that private debt from the banks was rolled on the shoulders of taxpayers. This is a long haul, next elections that will take place on the 27th of April will define how awake my nation is and how willing they are willing to ignore lies and promises politicians will never keep and carry on the path of true transformation.

we are working on making sure that he knows that I support him and have not forgotten about him - i dont think i can visit him. I am deeply upset about the heavy handed approach to info activists.
