Soini: THIS IS PAY DAY!
UPDATE: UK’s UKIP send its congrats to Soini and the True Finns:
UKIP Take Cheer from Victory of True Finns
It is fair to say that UKIP are ecstatic that their Finnish sister party have surged in Finland. Their tough on immigration, tough on the EU policies have seen the 16-year-old party surge from 4.1% of the vote in the last parliamentary election to 19.4%, tonight, taking their parliamentary representation from 5 to 39 MPs. They have out-polled the Social Democrats and overnight smashed the Finnish pro-EU consensus. No wonder Nigel Farage is smiling…
ALSO: This is what True Finns Timo Soini feels about the EU
Don’t want to be a spoil sport, but //svenska.yle.fi/ is more up-to-date. .)
Wow, that looks good. Do they have an English website? My Finnish is not so good 😉
Just in Finnish 😉 //www.perussuomalaiset.fi/
Thanks KGS. I was wondering: do the Lefties already scream about xenophobia, populism and far right?
The Left here are talking about how the TF party deserves a place within the gov’t due to their crushing victory. none of teh parties have mentioned anything about xenophobia. That is how the outside world is looking at it.
TF are the type of party we need here in America. Congratulations to them on their accomplishment!
Congrats to the True Finns, may their party grow and prosper.
Paras mahdollinen tulos!
Hyvin tehty Timo!
