Pirate Party UK election results

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pirate Party UK contested its first election in 2010, standing nine candidates in the 2010 general election. The party also stood candidates in the 2011 Oldham East and Saddleworth and 2012 Manchester Central by-elections. The party also contested several local government elections and the 2011 Scottish Parliament election. The party stood six candidates in the 2015 general election. The highest percentage of votes the party has achieved to date is 7.6% by David A Elston when he stood in the St Athan ward on Vale of Glamorgan Council during the 2017 local elections. In general elections, the party has never received more than one per cent of the vote but briefly had two co-opted community councillors in early 2017, David A Elston in St Athan Community Council, and Kev Young in Parton Parish Council.
