Yes, this would be desirable.
But for the moment, it's not my impression that the Pirate Party would 
do this. It could be subjective.
How can we force the Pirate Party to take up robot issues?
Answer: with the idea of a robot party.
Perhaps just the idea has an effect.

Let me bring an example:

We have 100 Billion dollars for the flight to mars. :-)

1.) Conventional thinking:
We start a huge mars program and we'll fly to mars in 20 years.

2.) New way of thinking:
We start a robot development program. In 20 years we would have 
catapulted the world into the future. We would have solved the global 
problems of the world. And by the way we'll fly to mars.

That's why a separate political robot party. Or just the idea.
To change the way of tinking.
Yes, it's just a crazy thought. It's a symbolic thought. Sorry.
