This is something that is sure to piss off Hollywood, the NSA, the CIA, the NZ govt, and the US govt. Looks like sitting electorate MP's will join the party, so an anti-surveillance and pro internet freedom party will exist after the September 20th election. Looks like the worst nightmare of the pro-spy lobby is coming true i.e. a rebel entrepreneur with the money to take them on.

Launch day for Kim Dotcom's Internet Party | Stuff.co.nzThe Internet Party will be represented in Parliament whether it brings home 5 per cent of the vote or not, Kim Dotcom says.
Internet entrepreneur Dotcom said this afternoon that a sitting electorate MP would join the party but he would not say who the person was, what party they currently belonged to or what electorate they represented.
Party chief executive Vikram Kumar said there were a further three sitting MPs that had expressed interest in joining the party.
Other candidates would be chosen in a process that was "almost like an audition", he said.
When members signed up to the party they could say if they were interested in becoming a party candidate, Dotcom added.
The party wanted to introduce "young, new talent" to the country's leadership, he said.
Dotcom said the Internet Party was open to working with any other party other than National.
The German-born millionaire said he would not work with, or support, the National Party in this term after a recent "disgusting smear campaign".
Dotcom also denied recent allegations that he was a Nazi sympathiser or bought into Nazi ideology.
The allegations that came about when it was revealed he owned a signed copy of Hitler's manifesto Mein Kampf (My Struggle) were part of a "disgusting smear campaign", he said.
Dotcom said he would not go into any further detail on the subject as he wanted to focus on the party's launch and call for members.
He said a deal with the Mana Party was still a possibility.
"Mana's biggest problem was that we said we could work with anybody," Dotcom said.
Dotcom said one of the party's key policies focussed on stopping the online "spy culture".
The party needed to send a clear message that the "mass surveillance" of the world's population was "not acceptable".
However, the party would ensure "sensefull investigations" by law enforcement agencies were carried out to uncover and prevent cyber-crime, he said.
