Hi, I am Arthur, active Pirate in the region of Antwerp

I joined the Pirate Party in september 2013 in the Netherlands.

I worked as editor of the program for the local Amsterdam elections in 2014

As campaign cordinator region Amsterdam in the European elections

As blogger on piratenpartij.nl

In 2014 I moved to Antwerp, where my first contacts were the Antwerp Pirates.

In 2017 I re-activated my engangement for PPBE as recruiter for the local elections in 2018, region Antwerp/Flanders

I want to fortify the Belgian Pirates by making sure we run in at least 20 communities (in 2012 we did 8...)

what I do

I contact aspiring Pirates from communities where no crew is active to motivate them to form a list and run for the local elections in 2018. I am vouched for by the Antwerp crew and by various pirates throughout the country (in Flanders as well as in Wallonia)

why I do this

I have witnessed 4 elections and saw the same mistakes over and over: not enough lists were handed in, so the PP was not represented where it should. I want to make sure there are as much lists as possible.

what I do not do

• I do not engage in the order of the list
• I do not engage in the local program
• I do not engage in the provincial elections
• I do not engage in communities where a crew is already active

ideology

I'm a classical pirate in the sense that I think Privacy and Piracy should be the main focus.

On the other hand I think the Party should evolve with and embrace new ideas.

I am working on a Dutch e-book on my writings on Pirate ideology and party politics
