  • The true Finns identity politics and populist leadership on the threshold of the partyʼs electoral triumph
    Niemi, Mari K.
    In the Finnish general elections of 2011 the nationalist-populist True Finns Party gained a ground-breaking victory: its parliamentary group of 5 members grew to 39 members. This article examines the ... partyʼs leader and co-founder Timo Soiniʼs populist leadership in the context of the Nordic consensual multiparty system. The focus is on the direct communication Soini targeted to the partyʼs (possible) supporters in his Internet blog and columns in the partyʼs paper. Applying populist strategies in the circumstances of a Finnish political reality called for balance on several fronts. First, Soiniʼs rhetoric balanced the dynamics of rousing the troops to the frontlines on the one hand, and integrating them to follow a certain set of behavioural norms and rules for party activities on the other. Although the separation of Žusʼ and Žthemʼ, typical for populist political strategy, was also substantial in Soiniʼs argumentation, the 'otherʼ was mainly not immigrants but various domestic and European elites. In his leadership, Soini balanced between two central questions. How, on the one hand, could the party be unique and gripping enough to attract support from both formerly passive voters and thosewho tended to vote for traditional parties? How, on the other hand, to remain respectable enough to suit the taste of the traditionally somewhat moderate Nordic voter?
