She’s also founder and leader of Iceland’s Pirate Party, which has been at or near the top of polls ahead of national elections Oct. 29. Birgitta Jónsdóttir: The Pirate Party started in Sweden in 2006, and it only had one agenda: to change draconian copyright laws. WP: Did you believe when you got started with the Pirate Party that you would be in a position to govern some day? What kind of statement would that make if the Pirate Party does finish at the top?
