very badly to the right. Final voting in the General Election has been today, and the counting is under way. With at least 50% of the count completed in all areas, the largest party is PS, Perus Suomalaiset, which translates literally as Basic Finns, but is usually translated as True Finns. Our equivalent of the BNP. This rabble were under the radar a decade ago, and at the last election polled a bit over 4%. At the moment they've 19.3% of the vote, taking votes off all the major parties. The SDP seem to be standing up best to them, and the biggest losers at the moment are Vihreät (Greens) and Vasemmistoliitto (Left Wing Alliance), the latter continuing their head long slide into political oblivion.
I'm not looking forward to the final result.
