About the party

Pirate Party Israel: a list for the 26th Knesset with 24 candidates.

The Pirates is a party that Dr. Ohad Shem Tov founded in 2012, modeled on the Pirate Party founded in Sweden in 2006. It has been running in Knesset elections since 2013 and has not passed the electoral threshold: in the first election in which it ran it received 2,076 votes, and in the election for the 25th Knesset in 2022 it received 1,728 votes. In the election for the 24th Knesset in 2021, its list was not submitted because of the closure of Ben Gurion Airport, after the chair of the Central Elections Committee rejected a request by Tov, who was staying in New York, regarding its submission. The party presents a platform of expanding public participation in decision making through technology, government transparency, protecting privacy and freedom of expression, and changing intellectual property laws, and in 2022 it sought to abolish the electoral threshold. For the 26th Knesset it is running under the name Pirate Party Israel and the ballot letters "צף", with a list of 24 candidates. It is headed by Tov, followed by Noam Kuzar Weisgerber and behavioral economist Prof. Dan Ariely.
