Delegates of the German Pirate Party (Piratenpartei) cast their votes at their federal conference on December 3, 2011 in Offenbach, Germany. The Pirate Party received nationwide attention after climbing to 8% in national polls and winning seats in the Berlin city parliament in September, though since then its popularity has steadily waned amidst a series of party mishaps, including that one prominent member had a neo-Nazi past as well as the discovery of links to child p*rnography websites on the party's internet platform.
