On: Patrick Breyer and Pirate Party Lose EU Parliament...

[boxed]

They're not single issue any more. But that has two issues:

1. people still think they are single issue

2. because they are not single issue, the people who find out they aren't anymore will be dismayed at something in their program that is stupid and rule them out

Basically the worst of both worlds.

> people still think they are single issue

Changing the name of the party would help a great deal IMO

That's even worse, then you have to start over with name recognition/PR. That is almost certain death.
