As it happened: No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

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.

Well that didn't work out for Germany. However, maybe the most recent scandals of some German AFD representatives did prevent them from receiving even more votes. Nevertheless, the AFD hasn't received any recognition for its beneficial contributions in the parliament thus far. Typically, it involves strange remarks or overall misconduct. But their overall propaganda seems to be still very effective.

I like Li Andersson's three major goals. Seriously… How could this be wrong for certain people. I don't get it

to end poverty, to make the world more equal and to solve the climate crisis

Fuc*ing leftits with their positive, political goals. Disgusting /s

You see them as positive goals, other people see them as advantages to loose. To foreigners, to climate protection, to „lazy“ people. They have a privilege they want to keep.

BSW taking 6% out of box (way more in the East) got to count for something.
