Maybe this will be the beginning of the end of Erdogen’s tenure as leader of Turkiye?

Looks like the shoes on the other foot now, ehh BBC. Making up libelous calumnies about Modi to distract from your own tax problems? That’s a low blow. :wink:

HS: First-timers favour Finns Party

The opposition Finns Party was overwhelmingly the most popular among first-time voters in Helsingin Sanomat’s (HS) poll of such voters.

Around 28 percent of respondents eligible to vote for the first time in this spring’s parliamentary elections said they would cast their ballot for the Finns Party.

Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s Social Democrats came in second, at 13 percent, while Environment and Climate Change Minister Maria Ohisalo’s Greens came third, with 11 percent support, among the young voters.

Generally, voter sentiment polls that take into account all age demographics show much lower support for the Finns Party (19 percent), HS explained. There are also much smaller differences between the top three parties when all age groups are taken into consideration.

Researcher at the University of Tampere, Aino Tiihonen, explained that while the wide margin seen in the first-time voter poll may seem striking, she would not draw any long-term conclusions based on those findings.

Tiihonen, who specialises in trends among young voters, added that 18 to 22-year-olds are still at a stage when their values and attitudes are still being formed, and new ways of thinking are adopted easily.

Not surprising that the US media is dropping the ball on that story.
