“Magnus Andersson (Pirate politician)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Magnus Andersson (born 1974) is the leader of the Pirate Party of Sweden from Gothenburg, Sweden. He was voted into office at the party's spring meeting on 2 May 2016, which took place online along with a vice-leader, Mattias Bjarnemalm, and a party secretary, Anton Nordenfur^[1] in the Pirate Party of Sweden's first democratic party election.

Political career

Andersson joined the Pirate Party of Sweden in 2009 shortly after the trials against the founders of the torrenting website, The Pirate Bay, Neij, Sunde, and Svartholm Walg ended and the verdict was delivered. On a press tour, when asked why he joined the Pirate Party, he responded that he felt that the verdict against the Pirate Bay founders demonstrated the corruption of the judicial court and believed that "it was a shame to see how our entire legal system lacked insight into the basic principles of the Internet"^[2] and its culture of sharing.

In 2014 he was chosen to hold the position of the party's Activist Coordinator,^[3] a position he held until his election into the leadership role in May 2016.

Election

On 2 May 2016, the Pirate Party held its election using a digital meeting platform where all members of the Pirate Party of Sweden had the right to vote^[4] in order to demonstrate its commitment to a transparent government.

Leading by a wide margin, Andersson was selected. A statement was posted onto his blog:

In an open letter to the party members, Andersson expressed a desire to improve upon the building of the Pirate Party's policies, stating that "time is with us, for our policies are becoming more relevant every passing day...we need to be even more active in highlighting the positive aspects of the network".^[4] He also aims to continue with the Pirate Party's goals on combatting internet privacy violations and surveillance as well as to educate people on why the freedom of the Internet is worth preserving.^[6]

Beginning on 20 May 2016, the newly elected officials, Andersson, deputy leader Mattias Bjarnemalm and party secretary Anton Nordenfur embarked on a political tour^[7] with the goal of visiting as many Swedish cities as possible including.^[8]
