SUMMARY: The German Pirate Party held its first national convention of the year, choosing their top three candidates to enter the European Parliament. They need 3% of the vote in May’s elections to have representation there. The party achieved 2.2% of the vote in the German general elections in September. One of their key policies is for a Europe-wide unconditional basic income.

SUMMARY: A case for unconditional basic income is argued and backed up by statistics. First, the German constitution and Federal courts rule that a subsistence level must be assured for all citizens at all times. There are also millions of people who are entitled to benefits but choose not to apply out of shame or ignorance, so the number of unemployed is much higher than official government figures. Very few vacant jobs exist, and it will only worsen as technology is making jobs and skills redundant through automation and computerization.
