Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party.

Leftist leader Li Andersson received more votes than any other candidate has ever received in a European election.

      Winter is the nice season in Finland, the other one is swamp season.

      I just looked at the temperatures and honestly, it doesn’t get much colder than it gets here in Indiana and it doesn’t get as horribly hot either.

      Besides, give it 10 years and climate change will make the Baltic coast feel like the French Riviera.

      Cold is fine, you just wear more clothes. The darkness from November to February is worse. Nothing really fixes that.
