I voted for him. Sad to see him leave. It doesn't seem like we have many advocates for digital privacy in the parliament.
e: typo
Die Linke voted similarly on many issues to the Pirate Party.
I would have considered voting for them, except there was no list with their name where I live
God fucking damn it
I was considering voting for the pirate party, but they polled at less than 5% in France and it was not a useful vote, which was evidently needed.
I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.
Didn't print it beforehand so I couldn't.
Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn't count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations...

You trust polls?
And I was right to; pirate party got less than 1% of votes, also due to the fact they couldn't afford to have their voting paper in most places.
Thanks for being part of the self-fulfilling prophecy, I guess.

Eh, I'd much rather vote for a party that aligns with my values but might not get a seat, in hopes it will inspire more people to do so next time around.

Yeah, the greens had a risk of not getting 5% so it was much more worthwhile to vote for them.

I still voted for them, because I could.
And I'm sick of the useful vote thing, I did it last time in 2022 against Le Pen and all I got was a lousy President.
Better a lousy president than a fascist, hell, boring politicians is what we should aim for!

Fuck, this is seriously bad news
I always expected us to never address our ecological destruction or climate change in any meaningful way, and instead devolve into some techno-feudalist, fascist dystopia before the civilisation collapses into a death spiral... But man... I've never wanted to be wrong more in my entire life.
Watching the EU regress in unison, back down the auth path, is not how I expected it would go down.
