True Finns gained votes mainly from working class men and people from the countryside, unempleyed people who's been "disappointed" and "left behind" by the Social Democrats. Classical populist voters in other word.
I spoke to my fiancee this weekend about the finnish election and she said she hasn't any friend in finland voting for True Finns (and least not who says it open, naming the party you vote is taboo but people talks about politics in election time). Her friends are young women from the capital region.
Dear friends, phew.
True Finns did not get votes from the mentioned groups, but you need a wide range of candidates and voters from working class to doctors to get 20% result. They got candidates evenly from all districts to the Parliament, all over Finland.
20% of Finnish voters are not 'low-income and education young men'.
Have you not ever thought, that everything in the news is not true.
Some sense please.

Evi, let's keep religion and politics apart, shall we.
Timo Soini is a Catholic, the party True Finns does not share nobody's personal religious beliefs
or restrict abortion rights in Finland.
