Another MEP for the Swedish Pirate Party

Europhobes here in the UK are getting hot under the collar about the fact that the Lisbon Treaty has now been signed by all EU member states, but now there’s a reason for the creative industries to tut as well. For reasons we won’t go into (mainly because we can’t fathom them), the signing of the treaty has triggered another MEP for the Swedish Pirate Party, doubling its total of seats won in the European elections earlier this year. The lucky recipient is 22-year-old Amelia Andersdotter, who will now be the youngest MEP. Source: TorrentFreak
