According to a new poll conducted by Iceland's largest newspaper, Fréttablaðið, if elections were held today, the Pirate Party would become the second largest in the Alþingi, the country's parliament, with 14 seats.

Píratar, as it is called, is an offshoot of Sweden's Pirate Party, or Piratpartiet, founded in 2006 by Richard Falkvinge, who opposed what he saw as that country’s onerous copyright and intellectual property laws. Piratpartiet opposes laws restricting non-commercial sharing of copyrighted works, including films, television shows and music.

Since 2006, Pirate parties have sprung up in the United States and many Western European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands.

Factions within the Pirate Party include left-libertarians, classical liberals, anarchists, progressives, and radical centrists. Many Pirates explicitly decline to identify with any particular political ideology or philosophy.

In 2012, the party began an expansion of its platform, inspired by the Pirate Wheel.[9] The party emphasizes the cultural values of the hacker ethic, open source and free culture, strong protection of individual civil liberties, government transparency and participatory governance, and evidence-based policy.
