Finnish Parliamentary Elections; Nationalist, True Finns get 39 seats

Nationalist True Finns make gains in Finland vote

A Finnish nationalist party has taken nearly a fifth of votes in the general election, results suggest.

With almost all votes counted, the True Finns were running just behind the conservative NCP and the Social Democrats on around 19%.

While the Social Democrats have called for changes on EU bail-outs, including the planned Portuguese rescue, True Finns opposes the plans altogether.

A hostile Finnish government could theoretically veto the package.

Unlike other eurozone countries, Finland's parliament can vote on whether to approve the measures.

Correspondents say the increased sway of eurosceptics in Finland's parliament could hold up any further bail-out deals.
'Invitation to talks'

With full results yet to be declared on Sunday night, the anti-immigration True Finns had won 39 seats in the 200-member parliament, official preliminary results showed.

That put it four seats behind the conservative National Coalition Party (NCP) - part of the current centre-right government and a strong advocate for European integration - and just three behind the opposition Social Democrats.

According to forecasts, the Centre Party of outgoing Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi - previously the largest party in parliament - were expected to win 35 seats, Reuters reported.

The strong showing for the True Finns meant the anti-euro party would at least "get an invitation to talks" on a new government, the agency quoted party leader Timo Soini as saying.

Finland is currently governed by an EU-friendly four-party coalition led by the Centre Party and the NCP.

"The bigger parties have no reason to invite the True Finns into any coalition if they can make up the numbers without them," Olavi Borg, professor emeritus in political sciences, told the Associated Press news agency.
EU 'squanderers'

Polling organisations had suggested the True Finns' support would rise to more than 15%, a leap from the 4% they won in 2007.

With its charismatic leader Mr Soini, the party rejects rescue funds for EU "squanderers", as well as opposing immigration.

Analysts say many Finns have become disenchanted with the big three mainstream parties who have run the country for decades.

"Whether the True Finns will really [emerge] as champions of the elections is still uncertain but I think we will clearly get a more nationalistic, more conservative, less European-oriented government in Finland," ING senior economist Carsten Brzeski told Reuters news agency.

Polling stations in the nation of 5.3 million people opened at 0900 (0600 GMT) and closed at 2000.





Any opinions on topic? I personally am very happy about this. Finally we get some balls to our governing.

Discuss.

Funny thing is, on facebook I see a lot of people my age making fun of Soini etc, obviously having heard it from their parents... I agree with some people who are against it, in the way that a lot of the party are a bunch of retards (e.g why is that one female bodybuilder whose name I right now can not remember there?), but then again what you said about the balls is true... Will be interesting to see.

Roll with the punches

Its not who or what you know because you’re better with nothing at all.

Yeah, I've seen a few of these facebook posts too. Funniest part is that these people have no clue, and they're (mostly) women for some reason. I guess they read magazines with too much seriousness, considering they think that Soini's party is the worst thing to happen in Finland since the war.

Sure, Soini as an individual has strong opinions on some topics, but some people fail to understand, that we're not choosing a dictatorship here, he's just the chairman of True Finns, and does not represent the whole party; just like Katainen, Urpilainen etc... don't represent their whole parties.

Nick, yes.

I knew that you wouldn't change, but I bit my tongue and swore,
Resigned myself to carry on despite you.
But you would not match my stride and cried,
"Foul! Foul! How could you expect me to care about somebody else?"
And after all, who would expect anything else from you?

Look it up if you want an understandable view.

It is dull, same people from one government to other, promising same things every time, fucking the people over.

Long live True Finns! :)

I don't know or care for the current situation in Finland, nor did I even know there was an issue, though everywhere in the world all the political systems are falling apart, people in this age consume more than they need and expect more than they deserve for the effort they put

Although I know this post is not serious (on your behalf), I'd like to bring up something quite ironic about the 2 party system. Basically the 2 party system in America gives people freedom of choice, choice that does not matter at all. It is very easy to control people when you have something like that set up, it's just an illusion of freedom. Inb4 mega dictator and no one notices.

E.g there are two cookies on the table. Johnny makes Chase and Dick fight for the other cookie while he gets the other one.
