According to media reports the Pirate Party has won one or two seats in EU?

According to Wikipedia, The Pirate Party (Swedish: Piratpartiet) is a
political party in Sweden. It strives to reform laws regarding copyright and
patents. The agenda also includes support for a strengthening of the right
to privacy, both on the Internet and in everyday life, and the transparency
of state administration.

Its formation appears to have something to do with the banning of file
sharing site, Pirate Bay?

This appears to be some sort of first for internet and governance?
Interested in reports from those who know more.
