My Work On The Pitate Party

My name is Kelly Jones. My group created a PowerPoint on the subject of the Pirate Political Party in Europe, specifically Germany. Our group used various sources online to find different information about this very new political party. The main website we used in our research was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party. This website has up to date information on the political party, and it also gives a brief history of the party. Our group interacted and worked together on this project through the use of e-mail, and in person. Members of our group would e-mail each other information for our PowerPoint, and we also e-mailed about where and when we would meet in person to work on our project. Before researching our topic, I knew absolutely nothing about the Pirate Political Party. After researching about them for the past week, I found myself to actually follow some of their beliefs, and support some of their ideas. They are an extremely small political party which gets a very low ammount of votes in elections. Even with their low vote count, they countinue to fight for their beliefs, and will continue to fight during future elections. They attract most of their attention from the generations youth, due to the fact that they are very technologically advanced and orientated. They have shown some positive growth in the past few years, but since they were founded in 2006, they are still a relatively weak party.
