We still don't have an Internet party (except for the Pirate Party). Yet 
the Internet is influencing all areas of our life, it has big political 
impact and is pretty attention-grabbing.

If it has taken 20 years for the Internet to produce just the Pirate 
Party, why do you think a robot party would be viable? It might be 
smarter to merge your ideas with theirs - the real strength of the PP is 
that they actually put technology issues high on their agenda.
