The party's ideals or your ideals?
Both, actually. If they're not one and the same, it would make me a poor leader. As I was democratically elected, it implies an endorsement of my priorities by the member base. However, these are formed by a continual dialogue. I hold views now that I did not when I first started to get involved in the party, and some that I didn't when I was elected leader.
That's not to say that I'm perfectly in tune with the rest of the party at all times. My views on WikiLeaks differ somewhat from that of most party members, but 4 hours of discussion and 500 votes later, I will nevertheless support and defend their opinions over my own.
How much do you want to distance yourself from the international pirate parties, who tend to be more radical than you?
That's not an easy question to answer. I have no interest in deliberately distancing our party from them, but we are already distant. Aside from a few interpartisan projects, we all go our own ways and set our own policy. Maybe our policy is more moderate than some, but that's our choice.
And how much are you assuming about the feelings of the registered PPCA members, here?
Probably as much as you are. Until I hear otherwise, I have to assume that members agree with the existing policies of the party that they have signed up to support.
