Joakim Vigelius said he participated in the True Finns' tent at the Tampere Hämeenkatu Appro, where the party was, according to him, involved for the fourth time. He mentioned that sausages and overalls badges were distributed at the tent and that politics was discussed. According to Vigelius, students specifically talked about the upcoming parliamentary elections and the rise in the True Finns' poll support. He reported that students encouraged the party to continue on the same path and opposed the return of the left to power. During the three hours at the tent, Vigelius noted that there were a few boos directed at the party, but in his estimation, there was at least one hundred times more encouragement, supportive messages, and joint photos taken. He thanked the students for their support and said it helped him continue his work for the good of Finland. #Opiskelijat #Politiikka #Tampere (translated)

The True Finns assessed that their polling results could be explained by the fact that the party had consistently worked for the country's sake and had taken responsibility throughout the entire term. According to the party, it had not changed its positions based on the polls, but its stance had remained the same. #ps #perussuomalaiset #hallitus #politiikka #Suomi #gallup (translated)

According to the author, the biggest concern for the National Coalition Party amid the fuel crisis and the threat from Russia was that the Finns Party had surpassed them in the polls. He mentioned that discussions within the National Coalition Party had been heated and described the atmosphere as strongly frustrated. The author hoped that the readings on the gas pump would provoke just as much anger within the party. #polttoainekriisi #venäjäuhka #gallup #FI #RU (translated)

Juho Salo listed actions such as moving to the left in the hall, approving the SDP's unsuccessful recovery package, and postponing the correction of the YEL issue. He also mentioned saying no to the right-wing bloc, considering a blue-red coalition, and blaming another party for its own polling support. Finally, he questioned the list. https://t.co/V2ds4O4xhP #politiikka #vaalit #SDP (translated)

Sture Fjäder described the situation as sad to see from a National Coalition Party perspective and said that the National Coalition was in third place due to its own mistakes. According to him, the True Finns were in second place and could rise above 17 percent in the next poll. Fjäder stated that the National Coalition could not enter into a blue-red government: in his view, the alternatives were the opposition or a government that would include the True Finns, the National Coalition, the Centre Party, the Christian Democrats, and the Swedish People's Party. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/oDPgXU9BMM #vaalit #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Matias Turkkila wrote that according to the morning poll, the Finns Party had surpassed the National Coalition Party. He criticized Yle's choice to give the result and the difficult situation of the National Coalition Party for analysis to Tulikukka de Fresnes, who had worked for a leftist party newspaper. According to Turkkila, the analysis focused on criticism of the government and racism. Turkkila referred to a previous EVA study, according to which Yle was, in his opinion, more left-leaning than the main supporter of the Left Alliance, Kansan Uutiset. He previously thought that journalists who had worked at Kansan Uutiset would move Yle to the left, but now believed they were shifting it to the center. #politiikka #media #Suomi (translated)

The Finns Party has surpassed the National Coalition Party for the first time in Yle's party support measurement, and researcher Juho Rahkonen suggests that this milestone could significantly affect the support development of the parties. #Perussuomalaiset #Kokoomus #Gallup (translated)

The author cited the Gallup report "State of the Global Workplace 2026," according to which manager engagement dropped from 27% to 22% over the course of a year. He added that Gallup indicated this group as significantly influencing the overall level of employee engagement decline. (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that he considers the support development of the Finns Party to be positive. According to him, the party's support had tended to rise before the parliamentary elections and was greater than the polling numbers in the elections. He hoped that the development would continue until the elections and assessed that the support for the Finns Party would mean less corruption and immigration as well as prioritizing citizens. Merano congratulated the Left Alliance on their record results. He assessed that this was due to positive work and offering genuine alternatives, although he considered these alternatives to be poor and extremely harmful himself. He was not surprised by the Greens' support remaining stagnant, as he believed the Left Alliance already offered everything that the Greens did, and described the Greens' communication as sour whining. Regarding the situation of the Centre Party, Merano wrote metaphorically that the party's sun had set behind the culverts. He described the Centre Party's election speeches as promises of cheap fuel for tractors. #perussuomalaiset #eduskuntavaalit #suomi (translated)

Joakim Vigelius thanked the Finns and reported that the True Finns had risen to be the second largest party in Yle's poll. He said that there were still six months until the 2027 parliamentary elections and that the work for the economy, security, and the benefit of Finland and the Finns would continue consistently. https://t.co/jv7KJ89SwG #Suomi #politiikka #eduskuntavaalit (translated)

The author assesses that although polls do not vote, Yle's latest poll depicted the development of thinking in Finland. According to him, politics was becoming blocked and the Finns Party was rising as the leading alternative to the socialists. #politiikka #Suomi #gallup #FI (translated)

The True Finns reported that they have risen to become the second largest party in Yle's poll and assessed that their work has produced results. According to the party, immigration and criminal policy had been tightened historically thanks to them, and they had worked to balance Finland's economy as well as to defend the interests of Finnish taxpayers. The party noted that there is just over half a year until the elections and stated that they aim to have a Prime Minister from Riga. #perussuomalaiset #ps #perussuomalaiset #vaalit #Suomi (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for what he perceived as giving Timo R. Stewart, whom he describes as a Hamas activist, an unchallenged platform to present his book. According to Mäkäräinen, the article adopted Stewart's view regarding the destruction of Gaza, genocide, and Finland's responsibility due to trade with Israel, without hearing the opposing side. Mäkäräinen emphasized that, in his opinion, genocide does not equate to heavy war. He wrote that the International Court of Justice had not ruled on the case against Israel and that interim measures were not a judgment. In his view, civilian casualties can occur in urban warfare where Hamas places rockets, command centers, and tunnels among civilians without the intent of destroying the group. He compared this to the battles of Mosul, Raqqa, and Fallujah, claiming that Stewart began using the term genocide after Israel succeeded in its war against Hamas. According to Mäkäräinen, the Yle article also lacked the starting point of the war: the attack on October 7, in which he claims over 1,200 people died, and which involved rapes and kidnappings. He wrote that Hamas aims for the end of Israel instead of a Palestinian state. He criticized the figures presented by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the article—over 21,600 by December 2023 and over 1,400 after ceasefires—and claimed that the ministry was subordinate to Hamas and that its figures did not differentiate between fighters and civilians. In his view, the article also lacked Israel's perspective that a significant portion of the dead were fighters. Regarding the two-state model, Mäkäräinen wrote that its failure was not solely due to Israel. He claimed that Hamas had rejected the model multiple times and that the Palestinian Authority had turned down offers, such as at Camp David in 2000 and Annapolis in 2008. He added that according to polls, the majority of both Palestinians and Israelis had abandoned the model. He described the cessation of support for UNRWA as a reaction to an organization that, according to him, had ample evidence of connections between its facilities and personnel to Hamas. Mäkäräinen believed that Yle, as a publicly funded media, should not advertise a single essayist as an expert. According to him, the article could have included opposing researchers, Israel's official stance, or addressed Hamas's responsibility for hostages and the use of civilians as shields. He concluded by asking why this had not been done. https://t.co/sHriNitmMo #Gaza #Israel #Hamas (translated)

The True Finns wrote that it was easy to operate within the party because it did not have to change its positions based on opinion polls, but could rely on its own line. The party stated that it had consistently warned about the consequences of mass immigration, deepening EU integration, and ideological education policies, even when bringing them up was not popular. The True Finns considered themselves the only option for those who wanted more sensible immigration policy, savings on secondary expenses, and prioritization of Finns in Finland. The party justified its views with its consistent policies and the knowledge of whom it was working for. #perussuomalaiset #ps #perussuomalaiset #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Timo R. Stewart's column, stating that Stewart had already decided in advance that those who disagree are stupid and racist. According to Mäkäräinen, Stewart defined racism as evaluating individuals based on their ethnic or religious background and concluded that such individuals had nothing useful to say about international politics. Mäkäräinen mentioned that the column likened the observation of group differences to climate denialism, young Earth creationism, vaccine resistance, and reptilians. He also claimed that it had asserted that the Finnish media, researchers, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had adopted their Middle Eastern stance from Hamas. Mäkäräinen argued that the claim about the absence of pure races did not refute the phenomena indicated by statistics, attitude surveys, and street views. He highlighted religion, cousin marriages, concepts of honor, fertility, and renouncement of religion, adding that the common goals of Muslims could be examined from their own polls. According to Mäkäräinen, explaining unpleasant phenomena solely with prejudices and labeling dissenters as racists was essentialism. He criticized a sense of moral superiority and argued that it led to a lack of fact-checking, distinguishing between immigrant groups, or noticing that one's own media repeated Hamas's casualty figures. He believed that placing morality above observations weakened empathy. https://t.co/dglVfEEw2o #rasismi #media #ilmasto (translated)

Vaivaako Suomea työttömyys vai työvoimapula? Puolueiden maahanmuuttopuheista sitä on vaikea päätellä. ”Meidän pitäisi ottaa selkeäksi tavoitteeksi nettomaahanmuuton nosto vähintään 40 000:een vuosittain”, linjasi gallupeja johtava Antti Lindtmanin SDP keväällä 2024. Suomen nettomaahanmuutto on pidettävä 40 000 vuotuisessa tulijassa, toisti RKP:n Anders Adlercreutz samana syksynä. Myös Antti Kaikkosen keskusta ehdotti vaihtoehtobudjetissaan viime vuodelle, että nettomaahanmuutto tulisi nostaa 40 000 tulijaan. Panoksia korotti Elinkeinoelämän keskusliitto (EK), joka asetti tavoitteekseen vähintään 45 000 nettomaahanmuuttajaa vuosittain. Vihreät tuki tavoitetta. Eduskuntaryhmänsä varapuheenjohtaja Pia Kauma pyöritteli, että kokoomuksenkin tavoitteen tulisi pyöriä ”lähellä EK:n ehdottamia lukuja”. Kristillisten ja vasemmistoliiton tavoitteista ei olla kuultu, mutta jälkimmäinen on usein hehkuttanut maahanmuuton kasvua ja tahtonut peruuttaa tehtyjä tiukennuksia. Puolueiden aikeet lisätä maahanmuuttoa ovat kestämättömiä. Talouskasvusta ja verrattain korkeasta työllisyydestä huolimatta Suomessa on yli 300 000 työtöntä, joista ulkomaalaisia 50 000. Hoettu ’’työvoimapula’’, jolla ulkomaisen työvoiman lisäämistä on lobattu, näyttäytyy nyt työpaikkapulana. Usein työvoimapula on koodikieltä halpatyövoimapulalle. Sen tyydyttämiseen tavoitteet hurjasta määrästä maahanmuuttoa EU:n ulkopuolelta tähtäävät. Esimerkiksi 40 000:n nettomaahanmuutto (maahanmuuton ja maastamuuton erotus) tarkoittaisi, että Suomeen saapuisi 60 000 maahanmuuttajaa joka vuosi. Se olisi kaksin-kolminkertaisesti enemmän kuin 2000-luvulla keskimäärin. Enemmän ja nopeammin kuin koskaan Suomen historiassa. Joka vuosi. Ulkomaalaisväestö kasvaisi vuosikymmenessä yli 500 000:lla. Näin mittava maahanmuutto väistämättä syrjäyttäisi suomalaista työtä, polkisi palkkoja, lisäisi hyväksikäyttöä, heikentäisi kotoutumista, johtaisi sosiaalisiin ongelmiin ja lisärasittaisi velkaista valtiontaloutta. Siksi muista poiketen perussuomalaisten tavoite on rajoittaa maahanmuuttoa ja tiukentaa sen ehtoja jatkossakin. Suomeen tulon on perustuttava työlle, omillaan toimeen tulemiselle ja maassa maan tavalla elämiselle – suomalaisen yhteiskunnan kantokyvyn ehdoilla. Joakim Vigelius Tamperelainen kansanedustaja ja 2. varapuheenjohtaja (ps). Tamperelainen 23.9.2026. #maahanmuutto #työttömyys #työvoimapula

Tulevien eduskuntavaalien pääjännite näyttäisi muodostuvan @ir_rkp:n ja @minjakoskela:n välille. Molemmilla selkeä talouslinja - jotka toistensa täysiä vastakohtia. Entä muut? @Demarit hippastelevat ylivarovaisesti varoen sanomasta mitään, mikä voisi heikentää kannatusta. Puolueen kärkivaaliteema onkin gallupin varjelu. @keskusta puolestaan ei jaksa, ei perehdy, ja kun viimein saa suunsa auki, esittää niin kummallisia malleja ministeriöiden ja hyvinvointialueiden alasajosta, ettei niitä oikein kukaan lähde kommentoimaan. Hokee tauotta valheeksi tietämäänsä euronpensa-"lupausta". @kokoomus ei oikein saa juttuaan kunnolla käyntiin. Kaikkein pimeimmässä syöverissä hortoilee @vihreat, joka on ollut täysin hukassa ilmastoaiheen kadottua. Puolue ryntäilee ilmeisen ylidramaattisella otteella sekalaisiin säläaiheisiin: Ai tuhoaa ihmiskunnan! Itkettää! Antti Häkkänen hankkii ilmatorjuntaa! Tuntuu pahalta! #eduskuntavaalit #politiikka #talous
