The Pirate Party Switzerland (German: Piratenpartei Schweiz, French: Parti Pirate Suisse, Italian: Partito Pirata Svizzera, Romansh: Partida da Pirats Svizra) is a political party in Switzerland, based on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party.[3] The party was founded on 12 July 2009 in Zürich, by about 150 people.[4][5] By the end of February 2012, the PPS had around about 1,800 members.[6]

The first election success happened on 7 March 2010, when Marc Wäckerlin was elected to the Winterthur city council.[7]

Patrick Mächler of the PPS was head member of Pirate Parties International (PPI) from July 2009 to February 2010,[8] the umbrella organisation of the international Pirate Party movement.[9]
