As far as I observed the Pirates in Germany - they basically trolled themselves to death ... they acted disrespectful against each other - regularly crossing the border of misogyny and cyber bullying. Most of them seemed to be just angry and frustrated nerds with severe lack of social skills. Those not falling into that category - f.x. Marina Weisband - sooner or later left the party.
Pirate parties started spending more time focusing on LGBT and immigration rights than IP reform and transparency. Also was not pleased with Sunde's denigration of Lars Vilks regarding free speech.
