As Margaret Thatcher once said about socialism : “Eventually, you run out of other people’s money”.

There is currently some discussion as to whether Finland's "True Finns" party will become part of the new coalition government. Finland is one of 17 Eurozone countries which has a veto on whether bailouts can proceed, and the True Finns are opposed to the idea of Finland spending money to bail out other countries. If they veto the Portugal bailout, it would likely start a chain of events which will take down the Euro.

The True Finns posted big gains in yesterday's election, gaining 34 seats where EVERY other party lost seats. Business Insider says:

If the True Finns are excluded from the new Finnish national government, its numbers will likely grow. If their "message" is ignored by the new government, the True Finns will likely grow faster. Who knew that Finnish politics was so interesting?
