Exits
In February 2015, Pirate Party Australia terminated its membership from the PPI due to a serious disagreement with the direction and management of the organization. In the same month the Pirate Party UK also resigned , and in March the Belgian Pirate Party suspended its membership from the PPI.
On April 20, 2015, the Pirate Party of Iceland voted with an overwhelming majority for PPI to leave. A member of the executive, Arnaldur Sigurðarson, reported 96.56% of the vote in favor of the exit, adding: "The PPI has been pretty useless when it comes to aims to promote international cooperation between pirate parties."
In May 2015 the Swedish Pirate Party decided by a large majority to leave the PPI and terminate its observer status.
Members
According to the statutes, only parties with a modification of the word “pirates” in their name could join, the regulation was changed to allow other parties such as the Internet party New Zealand to join. In principle, only one party per country can become a member with voting rights; if another party is added, the votes are divided. Other organizations can become observing members. Individual sponsoring membership is possible.
