Dutch Pirate Party program 2021 in brief

The Pirate Party stands for a free democracy in which all the knowledge, art and culture that humanity has produced is readily available to everyone. The corona crisis shows how important it is to share knowledge in freedom. We would rather invest in good public facilities, such as testing capacity, source and contact research, and sufficient health care personnel, than curtail civil rights and freedoms. We start from trust in people, and have a healthy distrust of concentrations of power in governments and companies. In a free information society, we make the wisest choices together.

Key points

Civil Rights

Civil rights guarantee personal freedoms and protect citizens from arbitrariness by governments or corporations. Civil rights are the foundations of our movement. Making concessions to civil rights means making concessions to the foundations of democracy. As the Pirate Party we always test all our actions against these basic civil rights.

Transparency

An open and transparent government is a basic condition for a good democracy. Only when citizens can question the functioning of its government and when they can control it is good popular representation possible.

Democracy

Democracy is having a say and making decisions about our society. In a democracy everyone has a voice and is heard. We want everyone to have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making process. In this way, we utilize all the knowledge, experience and expertise in our society.

Freedom of Information

Free access to information, knowledge and culture is a prerequisite for the social, technological and economic development of our society. The current copyright and patent laws create information monopolies that only benefit large corporations, are an obstacle to this access. We therefore want to thoroughly reform these laws.

Themes

Entrepreneurship

The Pirate Party wants to protect small entrepreneurs from concentrations of power by governments and large corporations. Where the government demands information from SME entrepreneurs, it should offer the software needed to do so open source and for free.

Unconditional Basic Income

With a basic income everyone benefits from technological progress. This simplification of social security makes bureaucracy and controls unnecessary, so that every euro reaches the people who need it. It is also more robust, so that it also works in times of crisis. The economic security that this provides stimulates entrepreneurship and makes the economy resilient and resistant.

Economy

The Pirate Party stands for contribute fairly. If we raise taxes on hoarding money and depleting the planet, we can lowan inclusive economy with development opportunities for all. In today's economy, large corporations with a lot of market power call the shots. Promoting a level playing field with the effective competition standard will increase prosperity for all. A resilient and resilient economy starts with economic security. We want economic policies that focus on welfare for all.

Tax

With fair taxation, we can create more shared prosperity. The Pirate Party wants multinationals to contribute fairly. If we raise taxes on hoarding money and depleting the planet, we can lower taxes on labor. In this way we ensure that labor pays and we stimulate sustainable development of the economy.

Healthcare

Healthcare is not a market. It is a basic right. Good care and medicines should therefore be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. We focus on the well-being and self-determination of patients and care providers. We want to take back control of youth care and (youth) mental health care. Privacy by design and open source will become the standard for healthcare data. If we rely more on the intrinsic motivation and expertise of professionals, we can eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and controls.

Justice

Security is a core function of government. The Pirate Party wants to improve security by strengthening civil rights. An immediate end to the 'war on drugs' will free up capacity in the police, the judiciary and the prison system. We want to split the 'mega-ministry' of Justice and Security; and to focus on de-escalation and violence training for the police.
