(AyPee) With 99 percent of votes counted, the biggest vote-winner in Finland's parliamentary elections was the conservative National Coalition Party, part of the current center-right government and a strong advocate for European integration.
But with 43 seats it had only one more than the opposition Social Democrats, while the nationalist True Finns gained 33 seats for 39 in the 200-member Parliament, the official preliminary results showed.
These folks sound a lot like the TEA Party. Trunks should take note. I doubt the TP would ever run a ticket, but Trump could be a third party spoiler. At any rate, others are fed up with their betters.
The anti-immigration and staunchly euroskeptic True Finns oppose bailouts for Portugal and other cash-strapped European countries. |
