Icelandic MP: Pirate Party associates itself with organized crime By Sunna Kristín Hilmarsdóttir 24. mars 2015 16:47 Vilhjalmur Bjarnason, MP for the Independent Party. Vísir Icelandic MP Vilhjalmur Bjarnason, member of the Independent Party, says he has no idea what's going on regarding Frettabladid's most recent poll on the following of the Icelandic parties. According to the poll the Pirate Party would get 29,1% of the votes if elections were held today and thus get 19 members of the parliament out of the total number of 63. The Independent Party, historically Iceland's strongest party, would get 15 members. "According to the poll the Pirate Party, a party that associates itself with organized crime, would get around 30% of the votes. If piracy isn't organized crime then I have no idea what the word means," Bjarnason said in parliament today. It's his hope that the results of the poll are only a warning, a yellow card, for the Independent Party and other parties. He also asked fellow MPs to make decisions in parliament but not again and again refuse to take a side referring to the Pirate Party.
