What is it with Green parties in Europe having no economists at all?

I remember the British greens also had quite a few infeasible proposals, and it was just nuts. I find it weird because Green parties here in Brazil tend to be made up of centrists (slightly left-of-centre at best), so I'm always astonished by these things.


They do, but fail helicopter view. They think Holland is big and what we do does change things globally. Not that I think it's bad to be a little ahead on other countries, but they just overdo it.

We need less traffic jams, so they make driving more expensive as solution and at the same time think people can be that flexible and companies do stay in Holland when such unattractive measures are introduced. What they IMO should do is prevent big companies moving towards the big cities in the center of the country like Utrecht and Amsterdam.

I was shocked to see their voters are at the top of parties with high educated voters.
A contribution was introduced some years ago that if you need hospital treatment you need the pay for the first 200 Euro annually, despite having an insurance policy. The amount has been increased till 350 Euro this year (people were not happy about this).
Now that the economy is getting better Groenlinks wants the remove the entire contribution. Stupid morons. It would be good to lower the contribution, but a contribution is needed just to avoid that people go to the hospital for every little thing, that was one of the reasons to introduce it in the first place and keep health cost as low as possible.

The number of pages in a thread minus age of a thread (in days) is directly related to a meltdown, according to mine research

Did you even read any of it?


Posted by wotyzoid on Mar-21-2017 13:06:

This is so much fun, though, I'm having a blast.

RIP to these three brave men, they thought they had it, but they never had it....

Hi, European, would you care to tell us the relationship between the True Finns and Finnish politics, and how it relates to Darude's Sandstorm? Is Timo Soini giving refugees salmiakki to keep them out?

Also, "perus" in the language of my people means "cocks". Are the True Finns cocks?


Posted by Lews on Mar-21-2017 15:31:

Ugh, I just do not get salmiakki. We've got loads of the stuff in our flat, my partner's mother insists on bringing it and schnapps every time she visits us. An extremely kind gesture, to be sure; very touching... but it's just piling up now, as I don't seem to have the taste for it and it isn't really a big hit when we have people over for dinner

I'll take it all.

Well, basically it goes like this:
- Sandstorm is awesome.
- True Finns are inbred hicks, who don't like anyone who aren't exactly like them. They especially don't like foreigners who come and take their jerbs, even though they're unemployed alcoholics. The proper translation for True Finns is actually Basic Finns, which I find far more descriptive.
- Refugees would probably think salmiakki is some kind of twisted torture method... which means Soini probably would give it to them.

Yes.

All True Finns are most certainly cocks. A relationship of some sort between True Finns and Finnish politics exists, yes. In fact, I hear there is a True Finn running for municipal council in Vaasa, and that must constitute as politics. He is even such a True Finn, that he grew a Hitler mustache to appear more True. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him in parliament in under ten years. He's just got that something about him that all rural Finns can see in themselves.



To me this almost makes him the Truest True Finn of them all.

This is again a very entertaining time in Finland, only second to the upcoming parliamentary election in 2019. We still watch interviews from the last election to pass time at work sometimes. When I was a kid and learned that theoretically anyone can run for the parliament, I never went back to my normal self. I have since remembered to make sure any new people I get to know are not the type that would some day be running for parliament.

What comes to salmiakki, my girlfriend basically moved here firstly for salmiakki, and only secondly me, so Timo's strategy might not be working as well as he thought. There's a huge fanbase for salmiakki in Denmark, but for some reason the Swedes don't like it. That is why we don't like the Swedes. My girlfriend's family visits Malm� from Copenhagen at least once a month to bring home a ton of salmiakki. I put little pieces of salmiakki in my quark very often, and have a wooden chest filled with this black gold at home.

Darude's Sandstorm is very Truly Finnish, and I am humbled that you know its origins. Here's more from the musically talented in Finland:

People who will be running for Parliament really are just the worst. I remember at the Conservative society at Oxford, all the ridiculous people who you could see from 20 metres away would be running someday, already trying to get one's future vote. One of those people will probably be PM some day =/

Wait, can't you get it in Copenhagen? I'm going to feel really bad if my girlfriend's mother is going from Copenhagen to Malmo to buy this stuff I'm not eating


Posted by JEO on Mar-22-2017 11:20:

I think you can get it in Copenhagen too, but as they buy a lot of things in bulk from Emporia in Malm�, it'll be a lot more salmiakki and chocolate than they would get in Copenhagen for the same price. They also seem to have a wider selection of Fazer and Panda products in Sweden than Denmark. No one buys Marabou. I recently learned that Danes also go to Germany and there buy Danish products from Danish storeowners for a lower price.

This all reminds of Finns traveling to Estonia to buy beer and hard liquor, and the recent changes in alcohol taxation in Estonia that will surely drive Finns to go as far as Latvia to buy all that booze in the near future. I'm all for what ever makes us Finns go abroad for even a day.
