PS-youth are pretty extreme, even though they tried to purge it a little bit by throwing out Tuukka "George Rockwell oli fiksu jäbä" Kuru.

Extremely dumb maybe. If this guy's great idea is to throw all socialists into a gulag, why is he in a populist working man's party?

It kinda looks like you answered your own question :haw: I don't keep up with them aside from KATSO KUVAT level "journalism" but I get the feeling that there's a significant fraction of some kind of libertarian thinking there. What we can deduce from this is anyone's guess though.

Also my vague impression is that Halla-aho has been campaigning more against kokoomus, and it's Soini who keeps talking about the dangers of evil socialism and röhöhö Antti haisee pissalle - level stuff. Obviously Soini has his own reasons for this, but I dunno how economically populist (is this the correct term) PS is anymore now that the racists took it completely over.

I guess Liike Nyt is taking their place as an economic populist party.

Instead of looking for hot topic populist platforms, they're going to base theirs on online surveys and discussions. Which is a great idea, just reading this thread tells you why. :v:

For the uninitiated, Liike Nyt - or Movement Now - is a party put up by businessman Hjallis Harkimo and his buddy Mikael Jungner. Hjallis used to be in NC, but got bored of party politics and decided to splinter with ex-SDP Mikael Jungner, who was once head honcho at the Finnish broadcast company and renown for being an "ideas man", most of which are full of techno-optimism and similar utopia construction.

Isn't the semi-literate Onnenpyörä goblin Jethro Rostedt also involved in some way?

Also wasn't one of Jungner's big ideas to transform the entire Finnish language into some kind of beep boop digi-Esperanto because that would make coding easier or something

But I gotta say I really appreciate the L:N concept. All other politicians: "How do we protect our democratic system from hostile trolling and social engineering attempts led from Russia?" Hjungner: "WHAT IF WE JUST LET PUTIN HACK INTO OUR PARTY'S VOTING SYSTEM?!" Also isn't Enbuske somehow involved at least as a takapiru because of loving course he is.

Boasting elder statesman like Jungner and jobcreators Harkimo- Rostedt, L:N! is sure to give Blue Future a run for its money. Isn´t there already a liberal party for aspiring randroids, H and J might overestimated the size of disruptive slushsegment voters or whatever the hell they think they´re going after. Good for them for splitting NC vote but still, if there ever was a party born and run by narcissism and cocaine.

Yeah, there is one, they were previously known as the Viskipuolue (or "Whiskey Party" in English) to oppose the state monopoly on alcohol sales.

Koks and Center Party have been pretty vocal about abolishing the gift and inheritance tax, but when push comes to shove, they're suddenly hesitant. Like today when the committee of state treasury convened to decide on the citizen initiative for the removal of said tax, the government coalition parties voted against writing a consultation paper for it in a 12-9 vote, effectively blocking the bill. Government party members are saying that such broad tax political topics shouldn't be done without an extensive research of its effects on the budget. The opposition on the other hand thinks the government is trying to not be in a position that makes it looks hypocritical when they're making campaign promises of taking down the tax while officially admitting the necessity of the inheritance tax.

In other words, don't expect the gift and inheritance tax to go away anytime soon.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

We're number one!

quote:

Almost a third of people of African descent polled in a new EU survey say they have experienced racial harassment in the last five years, a report that claims racial discrimination is “commonplace” across 12 European countries reveals.

People of African descent face “a dire picture” of discrimination in housing, the workplace and everyday life, the survey of 5,803 people by the European Union’s fundamental rights agency states.

Perceived racial harassment, such as offensive gestures, comments or threats, was highest in Finland (63%) and Luxembourg (52%) and least prevalent in the UK (21%) and Malta (20%).

One in 20 respondents said they had been a victim of a physical attack in the last five years, ranging from 14% in Finland to 2% in Portugal. The figure was 3% for the UK.

Honestly, the reason that Finland is so high is probably because we don't do segregation. I would imagine you can go five years in France or Italy without seeing many white people. It's mostly a good thing but it obviously increases the amount of racist incidents.

The answer for that is suspiciously buried in the article underneath one of the graphs:

Note: results are based on a small number of responses for Italy, UK and Portugal

Incidentally, all three are the best places for avoiding racism, so yeah. I still don't really doubt the recorded figures for Finland because, well, yeah. I've seen people I'd even call leftists otherwise happily air out some pretty racist stuff once drunk enough.
