A foreginer here. Would you like to elaborate why they seem unelectable?

They are unable to settle on a real party manifesto. Also they have problems to organize themselves. Even worse, they regularly contradict each other in public. (My personal view)

It's not so strange, because the core issues of the pirate parties are orthogonal to the classical left-right spectrum.

They're trying to form a party out of a fraction of a full platform, with the result that they will either need to find a way to agree to disagree about large swathes of politics, or they will drive away large parts of their potential supporters.
