Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party.

Leftist leader Li Andersson received more votes than any other candidate has ever received in a European election.

      It’s the eu parlament elections, not our own. Our own is still in the hands of a centre-right party, in a coalition with shitty far right party (because they needed a majority, and the typical centrist party decided to not participate).

      On the bright side, that far right party is fast losing support.

        It’s glorious how you can still read my comment even though a mod didn’t like it

          It wasn’t a mod. You’re just at -17 vote count because what you said was moronic.

          I have my client settings at not to hide, just collapse.

            I thought you viewed it with the modlog, maybe your instance behaves differently than mine?

              Maybe my client doesn’t care about mods (Sync for Lemmy). Otherwise maybe mod removal is just for the mods instace. Im on Sopuli.xyz

      Some right wing voters are probably thinking that but maybe it’s like the qanon prophecies: all the spooky predictions are now gonna happen any day now but the date gets always moved
