The pirate party is a single issue party about abolishing copyright and having no plan for what to do next. I'm not surprised it didn't go anywhere.

The way single issue parties normally affect policy is that getting a seat signals the other parties to take the issue more seriously (eg in this case balance between interests of copyright holders vs interests of the public), so the lack of plan wouldn't normally yet mean a failure.
