Exactly, so what was that about sanity in resigning from your own, literally own, political party?

Because the people running it now are so fucknut out of their minds that this somehow seemed like the better option? I'm saying that this course of action is so crazy that the Halla-Ahot and Huhtasaaret of the party must be even worse then apparent if they are panicking this much.

Soini was already catching poo poo about bending to Cocks, now he ran off and joined them. Halla-aho going on about how it was Soini loving everything up and selling the party to Sipilä will probably convince at least some of the uncertain, who still are the biggest party in Finland.

I guess he could, but he's such a lazy gently caress he's going to gently caress off to Brussels again and occasionally post racist poo poo on FB. So the vice chairs would have to do that, and they consist of a blisteringly insane lady from Satakunta, an alcoholic who on a good day can buy his own booze from Alko and a Jouni Hynynen cosplayer.

Somehow, the nazi takeover of Pers hosed over all three parties in various ways and Sipilä probably managed to make it worse. As he does.

Immigration to Sweden has been on another level. In addition the other parties weren't treating it as much of an issue, so SD had more of a gap to drive a wedge in. PS is going to have to expand to more things than just immigration if they want to survive. I don't think the novo PS roster is that impressive either. They still have more than one person capable of functioning as a minister.

I understand what you're saying, but it's not a surprise that Hallis has his opinions or that he was going to be the new leader. Especially to Soini and it's definitely not the reason he split from TF.

Honestly I still think it was a bit of a surprise that he got elected, I certainly didn't think of it as the likeliest option. What certainly surprised people was Halla-Aho revealing just how much of a sociopath who doesn't understand human reaction and interaction he is by going all Night of the Long Knives in a nanosecond, replacing every leadership position with the absolute worst people publicity-wise while still apparently loving off to Brussels and basically telling everyone who supported Soini that they could kiss his bleached rear end in a top hat for all he cared.

It was a curse in disguise that Halla-aho won in such an overwhelming way. With the SMP-wing left without power in the party, they had no reason to stay. From what Kike Elomaa told about the events, the idea to splinter developed over the weekend, and on Monday the ball was rolling.

This is one reason why compromises are an important political tool.

And now Defender of Human Rights Petteri Orpo is in bed with Sampo Terho, between whom and Halla-aho there isn't a nanometer of daylight in policy. If you really look at what happened here it's really just that Terho is slightly better at giving his opinions in a way that doesn't result in prosecution. Eläköön se pieni ero.

I've love to hear who the UV people think their voter base is now. I'm not really seeing anything but a political limbo in their future. The left will reject them because of their past and current policies, and the right probably hates them more than anyone now. Meanwhile PS no longer has to pretend they're anything but far-right now, and with no more herranpelko and kurinpalautuksia from saying the wrong things.

The only people left in the original Treaty Persus. They have a bright future as your average European forever protest party that the other parties avoid like plague. The Provisional Republican Persus are kinda hosed, though as this means that this nightmare monster of a government keeps shambling along, everyone is.

There's also the issue of trust. Sipilä and Stubb (and then Orphan) built a relationship with Soini. Soini brought in a bunch of his trusted sycophants, including Sampo the Chosen. Halla's language has consistently been that "we will stick to the hallitusohjelma*" where the * footnote is that he wants to apply the immigration policy differently from SSS or SOS. And then he told all of the current TF ministers to get hosed so he could give the briefcases to his own trusted sycophants.

Also even Sipilä and Orpo felt that being filmed shaking hands with Mestari would have made them look like buddying with a sinister, cold-hearted vampire who feeds on human suffering.

Honestly, it wasn't Sipilä. His weird blathering about values yesterday ("there are no good or bad values, just different values") showed that he simply didn't even get what was going on and why the Orphan Boy is recoiling in horror from Doctor HIV. This has happened a whole lot during his tenure as PM.

This was the line Sipilä gave and that's fine. Because Sipilä indeed gave the "there are no wrong values only different values" speech. Orpo's the hypocrite here, and Sipilä's gaping hollow of a moral centre has flown under the radar. If you wanted to claim that mantle, you shouldn't have gone to government with them with that program in the first place. The same works the other way around for PS and defending the poor.

Right now, this idea that somehow left-wing people will not vote for either PS again. If the breakoff party falls, it'll be for many other reasons related to being a splinter party.

There's also the whining about how the coalition won't kick out PS (before it actually happened) because they're amoral too/they believe the same things as Halla-Aho and then once it happened the analysis about how Sampo Terho's wing is exactly the same as Halla-Aho's wing so there's no way except a coalition with KD + RKP.

Because PS were doing nothing in government and they'll be replaced by RKP and KD who are going to slow down the new alcohol law and get that hospital in Vaasa. Not that it was possible to govern with Halla-Aho, it's just annoying that they elected him in the first place.

Ideal situation: half of PS leaves the party and continues to govern, maybe with KD thrown in as well.

Soini published a blog post about the day's events. The server is down, probably because of HACKERS, but Kaleva described the post. Basically Soini had a hunch something was up, and the tension rose between the two wings the closer we got to 10th of June.

Kaleva posted:

Soini kirjoittaa tiistai-iltana julkaisemassa blogissaan, että hän aavisti tulevat muutoksen tuulet jo aikoja sitten.

– Aavistin kyllä jo kuukauden verran asioiden tolan ja kerroin tuntemuksistani Helsingin Sanomien kuukausiliitteessä.

Soini kirjoittaa, että hän ei olisi halunnut nähdä sitä päivää, kun hän jättää perustamansa puolueen. Soinin mukaan oli kuitenkin syntynyt uusi tilanne eikä eilistä päivää enää ollut.

– Vanhat SMP: läiset, sadat Perussuomalaiset saivat osakseen pilkkaa ja antikristillinen retoriikka rehotti erilaisilla keskustelupalstoilla.

Soinin runollisia sävyjä sisältävä teksti sivaltaa Suomen Sisun suuntaan. Suomen Sisua johtaa oululainen kansanedustaja Olli Immonen.

– Kaiken huippu puoluekokouksessa oli puoluevaltuuston valinta. Se tehdään yleensä nuijan kopautuksella piirien esitysten perusteella. Jyväskylässä käsitykseni mukaan Suomen Sisun jäsen esitti vaihtoehtoisen listan ja vei sen äänestykseen. Sillä olisi muutettu demokraattisia piirien päätöksiä ja korvattu ne toisilla henkilöillä, keneltäkään kysymättä.

So, this means that the old style Persu party will be completely dead and gone in the next election? It's Hitlers all the way down from now on and any old SMP remnants will join SDP or Kepu or something?

It's gonna be really interesting to see what kind of polling the new Hitler party gets once things have settled a little. I predict it will go up significantly from whatever the latest number before the split was.

If the split wouldn't have happened, it would have been pretty certain that at least momentarily, the Pers would have had a dead cat bounce to 10-12% in support, and then back to declining support.

Right now, who knows. It's fairly certain that Soini is going to retire as planned, so whatever Terho and Elo will put together won't get much support in the next election.
