Yeah, this vote was a disaster... I didn't vote for them but its really hard to see them go

@Jean_le_Flambeur @Flatworm7591 maybe you should have voted for them.

Maybe I should have. But fighting fortress Europe seemed more important (not to say that pirates don't do this, but their focus is on digital topics). The strategy of connecting with the non Parliament left and making carola rakete second of the list by the left party gave me the impression that they would be a better choice.
