In several countries, conservative or right-leaning parties made progress recently that gave the influence on policy-making in their respective countries. While I like the EU-critzicism and self-distancing this indicates, I am not always certain what to think of these parties. I have understood that Wldery ba far is not the extremist and right-winged demagogue Islamophiles and Euro-Lovers try to make him appear as in order to isolate him, in fact it was him bringing a demand into the coalition that increased the rights of homosexuals - against the opposition of the coaltion partner. The true Fins, also demonised over here as a mixture of stupid hillbillies and Neonazis, also seem to not qualify for the description of Nazis at all, but are an expression of the growing holstility towards the EU that people feel. Hungary, I have not made my final opinion on Orban's party. As was discussed in another thread some days ago, on paper the preambel of their new constitution sounds very much okay and aware of Hungary'S own identity. And the Brits, since Thatcher blackmailed Europe to get the Brit-rabate it is clear that for Britain the EU is only an entity which is to be occassionally absued for own interest. Opposing opinion camps that disagree both over the EU and the Islamic movement into Europe, seem to grow in almost all big European countries. Good.
Not waving that flag, may just be symbolic. But I agree with the change of mindset behind it. |
When President Klaus refused he was jumped on instantly, hope the federalists jump at this.
Would be fun to watch if they bully only the smaller or if they are stubid enough to take Britain.
Many are hoping and waiting for the Germans to wake up.
Germany and Sweden are the two countries that Finland aligns itself usually.
With this Euro crisis and lack of democracy Finland is starting to break in half.
I think new elections are very possible within a year, True Finns will be the biggest party if the old parties continue the "European project".
