Desde el año 2006, fundado por Richard Falkvinge, han ido apareciendo Partidos Pirata en más de 60 países, incluyendo los EE.UU y Alemania, pero ninguno ateriormente habia gozado del éxito que apodera hoy el Partido Pirata Islandés. Los Partido Piratas se caracterizan por apoyar y defender como base de su programa la libertad de información y la reforma de las leyes de copyright.
Mientra que para algunos islandeses el Partido Pirata puede sonar algo frívolo— en 2013 los miembros de este partido redactaron una petición para que Edward Snowden pudiera recibir la nacionalidad islandesa— son parte actual de la politica islandesa, alineandose con movimientos de izquierda anti-sistema, semejantes a partidos como los griegos Syriza y los españoles Podemos, que estan ganando fama en Europa.
El Partido Pirata de Islandia fue el primero en ganar un parlamentario, ganando hasta 3 parlamentarios de 63 en las elecciones islandesas del 2013. Los parlamentarios actuales incluyen a un programador y a un voluntario y colaborador de Wikileaks. La lider del partido, Birgitta Jonsdottir, es una ex-parlamentaria islandesa que formo parte del Movimiento Ciudadano Islandes, un partido nacido en respuesta a la crisis economica que azoto a Islandia hace varios años.
"Si te soy totalmente honesta: no tengo ni idea de porque confian en nosotos, estamos agradecidos y tomamos esto como una señal de desconfiaza a la politica tradicional” dijo Jonsdottir.

1. Briefly describe your party’s general agenda in one sentence.
XG is a conservative, green, people’s party. We are libertarians that like to see smaller government, lower taxes, free trade and peaceful international relations. One of our main goals is to adopt similar measures to the American TARP to reduce index-linked housing loans to that which they were on November 1, 2007, when the EU MiFID directive became Icelandic law and refinanced them through a Quantitative-easing programme. We also wish to establish a new Icelandic currency, the Ríkisdalur, and peg it to the US Dollar to achieve currency stability, among many other benefits. We want to generally reduce government and government spending and make all government more open and accountable. We will instate a flat 20% tax rate to create conditions for increased investment and get the economy moving again.

16. Will your party do something to protect the land and its resources? Is a more stringent regulative framework needed to ensure conservation of the environment?
The party is a right-green party. This reflects respect of and concern for the environment and the need for intelligent and practical utilization of natural resources based upon green solutions. The regulatory framework is already stringent, but contains holes to fill and knots to untie. The party wants to make people in general—including sectors such as agriculture, tourism, energy companies and the fisheries, all of which depend their existence on nature and its resources—to be more aware of the importance of the well being of the environment and their responsibility towards it. The party wants to provide incentives, help and assistance not only to protect the environment, but also to service it.
This may for instance be done by allowing the collection of entrance fees at tourist sites to provide necessary funds for upkeep; by providing incentives and help to landowners and farmers for increased land reclamation and forestry, while grazing restrictions on livestock need to be enforced. Our new fisheries policy will ensure that there is no more undesired catch dumping at sea. Where there is a carrot there must also be a stick. More and tougher disciplinary tools should also be provided to keep these important matters in check.
