Formal proposal to rename the Pirate Party by 2018

“We’ve spent 8 years taking back the word ‘pirate’ and using it to our advantage”, and now you want to spend another 8 years explaining “Libertarian Left”?

(Incidentally, I used to like the term “libertarian” as a descriptor, but it’s been utterly destroyed by teabaggers and an assortment of other cranks over the last half century.)

Also, selectively quoting the arguments in the original post:

1: The Pirate movement is dead as a party political organ.
4: We have become a movement in our own right. We are the only Party in the lower-left quadrant of the political axes in Australia.

Don’t those statements kinda conflict?

TL;DR: I’ve read the arguments in favour, and I get what you’re saying about where we are in the political spectrum, but I’m having extreme difficulty seeing a name change as anything other than a large expenditure of time and effort, coupled with the loss of a certain spirit. Sorry, but I think I’ll be voting “no”…
