The Pirate Party Switzerland (German: Piratenpartei Schweiz, French: Parti Pirate Suisse, Italian: Partito Pirata Svizzera, Romansh: Partida da Pirats Svizra) is a political party in Switzerland, based on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party.[3] The party was founded on 12 July 2009 in Zürich, by about 150 people.[4][5] By the end of February 2012, the PPS had around about 1,800 members.[6]
The first election success happened on 7 March 2010, when Marc Wäckerlin was elected to the Winterthur city council.[7]
Patrick Mächler of the PPS was head member of Pirate Parties International (PPI) from July 2009 to February 2010,[8] the umbrella organisation of the international Pirate Party movement.[9]
On 13 March 2011, the party achieved 0.8% of the votes in a local election in Lausanne. On 3 April, they obtained 0.56% of the vote in a regional election in Zurich.[10]
In the federal elections of October 2011, the party failed to win a seat, gathering 0.48% of the popular vote (11,616 votes). On 23 September 2012, PPS member Alex Arnold was elected as part-time mayor of Eichberg.[11][12]
