The True Face of the True Finn

It's local election time in Finland again! The world waits with anticipation as the people of Finlands many, many vacant villages and empty forests are trying to decide between Ari-Pekka's promise of a bottle of vodka for every four-year old and Janne-Pekka's proposal of obligatory Sauna classes in schools!

Amidst the election chaos, a new site has appeared...

Sannfinnene(the true finns), is the finnish variant of the right-wing loon-party, the finnish blend of honoured names like the Swedish Democrats, the BNP, Front National and so on. Sannfinnene is quite special to me, actually, as they seem to try as hard as they can to prove all of my right-wing prejudices with their demographic data(old, lonely hillbilly male with social contact once every three weeks, etc)... Anyway, someone had the clever idea to post photos of all their local candidates on a single page, the one I linked to above. It's hardly an overstatement to say they are not as well groomed and media-friendly as their leadership...

Approve/disapprove?

They all kinda look as if they just walked out of a movie of the Coen-brothers

They are just real people HoreTore. You need to spend less time with your college professors and hippie friends and Africans and meet some real people.

This thread is really about your class prejudice.

I'm actually hanging around in art galleries nowadays...



(yes, there's a woman involved)

In this thread so far:
Ultra-Nationalists apparently look very derpy. (HoreTore's link)
College Professors, Hippies and Africans are not real people, but Ultra-Nationalists are.

But you got to admit they look pretty damn hilarious, at least worthy of having a laugh over how stereotypical things sometimes can be.
