Finnish newspaper HELSINGIN SANOMAT reported that Finns went to the polls today, turnout at polling stations was brisk across the country, with long lines forming in some places, indicating a rise in the overall voting figures, which have dipped alarmingly below 70% in recent elections. The polls closed at 8pm, and the first results of advance voting - in which some 31.2% of the electorate took part suggested a very strong showing by the True Finns under Timo Soini, and that the Centre Party of Prime Minister Mari Kiviniemi has taken a battering. The Centre are only in fourth place behind the National Coalition Party and the opposition Social Democrats and True Finns. The Social Democrats have thus far claimed second place in seats won, as the count approaches completion.

I don't think it should be taken as a shock; it was a chronicle of a'shock' foretold, as Gabriel Garcia Marquez would have put it. The workers and the middle classes are seeing their values and their way of life eroded, by globilization whose benefits they have not seen, and by 'new' cultures which do not want to integrate with theirs, and which instead are taking over their established way of life. This is all the fault of political correctness gone haywire, the fault of face unelected fat cats (beaurocrats) in the EU and also the fault of 'pure' and 'green' ideology found mainly in youths from a conservative a background, but are in reality future reactionary politicoes tipo Ferrara Guiliano, and dell'Utri a Berlusconi buddy!
