Voided

The initial odds seem to be off a bit: the seat gained by the pirate party in the European parliament was gained in Sweden, the root of the "Pirate Party Movement" where they are the third party concerning votes now, but they only received 0.9% in Germany and are most likely not going to get close to the 5% barrier.
