Amelia Andersdotter (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Amelia Andersdotter (born 30 August 1987, Enk ping) is a Swedish politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP), elected on the Pirate Party list in the 2009 election.Andersdotter was listed as number two on the party's ballot behind Christian Engstr m, and her vote was insufficient to gain a seat in June 2009. However, she became eligible for one on 1 December 2009, when the Treaty of Lisbon took effect and Sweden gained two seats in the European Parliament.Because some of the EU countries had not chosen their additional MEPs at the moment the Lisbon treaty went into effect, the 18 new MEPs could not take their seats immediately, including Andersdotter. A treaty change was required, and it took about two years to get all member states to sign the treaty change. With Belgium, the last country to sign, completing the process in November 2011, the European parliament is now able to take in its new members.
