FINEXIT: A FINLAND election candidate (Laura Huhtasaari; 38 year old teacher) is using Nigel Farage’s Brexit example as a blueprint for plans to pull Finland out of the EU

A FINLAND election candidate is using Nigel Farage’s Brexit example as a blueprint for her own plans to pull her country out of the EU.

 

 

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 presidency has seen her reputation soar ahead of the first round of voting on Sunday.
Her Finns Party has employed tactics from a variety of populist politicians, echoing Donald Trump with her “Finland first” slogan and French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who used nationalism as a key theme in her campaign.
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”.
She said: “I look at Nigel Farage’s example. It took 17 years, but Brexit came.
“I don’t plan to wait that long.”
