True Finns Party likes Tea?

Stockholm paper covers Finland. True Finn is contageous?

I hope True Finn spreads. This would be good for Sweden too, and good for Europe.

You don’t see too many Roman Catholic Finns, interesting.

It’s also a lesson for America - I think our voter turnout is the worst in the G-8 or G-20, pretty bad in any event. And his success is with disengaged voters, which we have plenty of here.

Nice! The Finns are smart people and tough. They don’t fool around. Notice it said he was pious too but he keeps it to himself. Northern Europe hopefully is going to rebel against islam and it will move south. I am sure Italy and Germany are getting to the point of enough. Ditto Austria, Poland, Denmark and Geert Wilders in Holland.

True Finns - I like it.

Someone ping the fellow in Sweden who posts here - Western Culture is his name I think.

[Frantzie]

I wish we had a media like Finland’s if he is a darling.

ALL of TV loves Hussein and Al Waleed’s Fox is only marginally better.

This Swede-Finn likes Timo!

Nice! The Finns are smart people and tough. They don’t fool around.

The Red Army found that out in 1940.

There is the member of parliament in Netherlands they want to throw in the slammer for xenophobia, a crime in EU. There are quite a few MEPs who are this conservative [far right wing for those of you who live in Brussels].

"Yesterday (10 March), the Finnish parliament's Grand Committee, which deals with EU policy, voted against giving its government a mandate to increase the contribution of Finland's loan guarantee in the EFSF. Finland's current share is €8 billion and there has been talk that this amount could double. The Finns appear to be deadly serious, as the vote was taken even despite the government having not yet formally asked for a mandate. Growing resentment of the EU in Finland is playing into the hands of the country's burgeoining anti-euro party, True Finns, and their leader, Timo Soini, who is being portrayed as a dark horse in upcoming national elections this spring. "Now [we must help] those people who have lied – this is the suspicious mind up north, because quite many people think the south is milking the cow," Soini was quoted as saying about euro bailouts."

Viiksitimali's guy? Not much choice for the Finnish Chapter of Free Republic's Vast Right Wing.

timo soini is impressive. Party policy is a bit unclear though. I think tax hikes for the rich are part of the platform, but he seem hate socialists/greens.

[bruinbirdman]

"I think tax hikes for the rich "

The article says he is teaching a bunch of those non-voters the gospel according to Timo. Sounds like a good place to start.

being media darling is not true. Old parties would like to see soini demonized in media, but the task is too difficult. Also, since there are many parties, the scene is complex. Some parties want him succeed getting votes from other parties

You probably don't want to know this but here it is anyway:

Where Do The Finns Come From?

[Travis McGee]

If the finnish MSM hates him, he’s probably terrific.

[Tainan]

Beg pardon...but WTF is that image all about?
I really do not understand why you are showing that image. Give me a clue here.

[sergeantdave]

Sounds like Mr. Soini has sisu (guts/determination).

The leftist wimps hate sisu because it exposes them for the bed-wetting poodles that they are.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks bruinbirdman.

[Viiksitimali]

Just a joke, nothing serious.

“Viiksitimali’s guy? Not much choice for the Finnish Chapter of Free Republic’s Vast Right Wing.”

I support him.
