They always say they can't get young people to vote. They always complain about losing to their opponents or what not.

Rolling back copyright is not exactly a great rallying cry for a politician. Out of all of the things that most young voters care about, that’s not on the top of their list.

Switching the context of the discussion by an entire continent might as well be a different discussion.

Also unlike American/UK first-past-the-pole voting most(?) of Europe uses a fairer (IMO) approach with multiple representatives from each district meaning more opinions gets heard instead of just two parties like in US.

The pirate party wouldn't stand a chance in the US IMO.
