Pirates can't seem to catch a break in Britain. Still only 72 votes despite the leader being local and working that area very hard. Normally starting at the council level would be the right thing to do, but in their case maybe they need to focus on the Euros and hope to get some national media coverage off a rogue poll or something, _then_ start on the council seats once they have better name recognition.
