Laura Huhtasaari, a 38-year-old former teacher, is trying to bring anti- immigration, populist ideas back to mainstream Finnish politics and her campaign for the country's presidency has seen her reputation soar ahead of the first round of voting on Sunday. In brief: she hates the European Union, cheered Brexit and supports Donald Trump — and believes Finland is more than ready for her brand of populism. And, according to Politico, of the eight contenders to be Finland’s next president, "none stand out quite like Huhtasaari." The candidate of the far-right Finns Party is an outlier in both style and substance. She won’t win Sunday’s presidential election but she’s using her time in the spotlight to push her party’s anti-immigrant, anti-establishment message. As the UK's Express adds, her Finns Party has employed tactics from a variety of populist politicians, and is echoing Donald Trump with her "Finland first" slogan as well as French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who used nationalism as a key theme in her campaign. At the basis of her ideology, her eurosceptic rhetoric sounds a lot like that of former Ukip leader Nigel Farage, even telling of her admiration for the 53-year-old’s Brexit campaign as she told supporters to “take their country back”. Poster Comment: She is probably the only real Christian running.

The Soviets invaded Finland. But the Finn's were all armed with rifles. The Soviets took a beating but Finland still fell into the Soviet orbit. During WW II, the Japs wanted to invade mainland America. But Yamamoto had studied here in the U.S. at a University. He told them, "It would be a bad idea. There would be a man with a rifle behind every rock and tree." ;)
