The party was cofounded on November 24, 2012 by Birgitta Jónsdóttir (previously a member of The Movement), and several prominent Internet activists, including Smári McCarthy. They successfully applied for the ballot list letter Þ in order to run in the 2013 Icelandic parliamentary election. This marks their first electoral participation as well as the first party to request the letter Þ. The party managed to win three seats in the 2013 election and became the first pirate party in the world to enter a national parliament. ==History== Following the ''Charlie Hebdo'' shooting on 7 January 2015, the Pirate Party began a campaign to repeal Iceland's blasphemy laws. The laws, which had been introduced in 1940, were successfully repealed in early July. The repeal, introduced by the Pirate Party, read: "Freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of democracy. It is fundamental to a free society that people should be able to express themselves without fear of punishment, whether from the authorities or from other people." During the vote on the repeal, the three Pirate Party members of the Althing stood and declared "Je suis Charlie", in solidarity with the French satirical magazine. Since 30 April 2015, the party has consistently topped polling for the next Icelandic parliamentary election in 2017, beating both the Independence Party and the Progressive Party, who are currently partners in a coalition government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pirate Party (Iceland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
