The pirate party are nowhere near getting elected into Parliament of Sweden.

They have less than 0.5% of the votes, nothing to take seriously. They are never going to be able to raise enough votes in that short amount of time. Plus, if you are not currently in the parliament, the Election Authority will not print and distribute your ballots, you will have to do this at your own expense and efforts. Since there are thousands and yet thousands of voting places, it will be very costly to do so.

However, they did snag one seat in the EU Parliament and are getting some funding/representation through those channels.
