guaranteed seat in the EU Parliament. Currently the party is sitting with
7% of the vote. Depending on how the remaining districts voted, the
Pirate Party could win another seat for a total of two." Reader lordholm

indicating that the Pirate Party will score two seats, writing "According
to the polls, the pirate party is the largest party in the 18-30 year age
category of voters. The final counting of votes (including around a
million postal votes) will not be done until later next week."
