Wearing captain’s hats and fuzzy vests, the Pirate Party presents its list to the Central Elections Committee.
The party says it is in favor of canceling the electoral threshold to enable small parties to enter Knesset, and makes the committee smile with its tongue-in-cheek political bid.
“We are the party of floating voices. We came to make voices more than rake in voices,” said party member Dan Biron.
Founded in 2012, the Pirate Party is the Israeli branch of an irreverent international political movement. It has never won any seats in the Knesset, or come close to crossing the electoral threshold.
