Chalk One Up for Populism

YIPPEE! Iceland's populist left-anarchist/libertarian/hacker Pirate party just shook up the corrupt political establishment in Iceland by winning 10 seats in the oldest parliament in the world. The fact that the party did not even exist 5 years ago shows the power of populist movements to rapidly effect radical political change. We can only hope that this trend continues.
