Other countries have not been immune to the far right’s rise... The virus, it seems, is spreading.

You can tell how the Left would like to deal with us, if they just had the power.

True Finns Party is difficult to place in the political spectrum. It has its roots in the rural area party (e.g. farmers etc), combined with some anti-rich tax-the-rich rhetoric. Its supporters and some elected party members oppose mass-immigration, but the head of party has been silent about immigration. Party opposes gay marriage.
It is EU skeptic, but not totally opposed.

From US perspective, it is partly populist, partly conservative, partly leftist party.

Finland has multi-party system. True Finns has good chance of getting into the coalition government, but zero chance of significantly affecting Finland’s position in any important matter.
