have a look at Julia Reda in the European Parliament; Pirate Party (not a huge fan of the Pirates, but still, closest to Cypherpunks as you can get right now). Before there was Amelia Andersdotter. Sometimes all you need is to look around a bit.
Yes and I did say effectively as in a couple MPs may be of muted influence... if you put 2 pro voices, 8 moderate voices and 90 antis in a room (or any other best conceivable odds at internal psyche on fringe issues like crypto rights) you're unlikely to get much done other than arduously slow education.
That's one of the reasons ACTA got killed in the EU. Amelia Andersdotter, among a few others, was doing an amazing job in the EuroParliament around this topic. Do not underestimate the power of a few well-motivated free radicals.
On the other hand if getting on the ballot with a new platform is relatively easy you can flood that with candidates and see what happens.
