National Coalition wouldn't be going down if someone other than the dishrag was the party leader. Because Ville just can't be seen as a prime minister, the election became a PM election between Sledge and Anneli, and people who hate Social Democrats voted for Centre and people who hate Centre voted for Social Democrats.

But the Christian Democrat loss =

Stefu, I agree with you.

Ande, why did you have to remind me?

He is also known for his job as lifeguard in the US... I remember his interview when he said he pissed off Madonna for not letting her in somewhere, actually physically stopping her from entering and Sean Penn was laughing his ass off.. .
He is a legend.

Well it's "Kansallinen puolue" (National party) or "Kansanpuolue" (People's party), the difference in Finnish isn't that big. The acronym is "RKP" so it's either one of those. Not that I give a damn.

Greens would have done better if it weren't for the Drake mess.

It would have been pretty funny to have both Halme and Drake in parliament though

BTW, the third seat True Finns (Halme's party) got was probably thanks to Halme, too - if you read the link to Halme's discussion forum in Suomithreadi, you noted that Halme advised people living in Uusimaa to vote for Timo Soini, their main candidate there. And True Finns got a seat in Uusimaa.

BTW, we haven't even discussed Mikko Alatalo being elected yet (Foreigners, he's kinda like Finland's Elton John, except straight and rural-kinda-like, if you can imagine such a thing.)

14000 people. 14000 people willing to vote for Tony Halme. And that's just 14000 people in Helsinki.

And you know what? I bet Halme's going to run for President, come 2006.

This is not going downhill. Christians and Swedish PP lost 3 seats, and National Coalition 6 seats.

Are those facts? Somehow I remember Finland being second in giving the right to vote, and I have this fuzzy memory of seeing some woman president on television years before we got one.

Oh yeah and way to go Halme. 7 magazine will love this.
