Europe's prolonged economic crisis has prompted a populist
backlash against the powers that be. In Finland, the EU's
prosperous northern outpost, the big beneficiary has been Timo
Soini, leader of the Eurosceptic, nationalist party long known as
the True Finns.

He wants to see the Eurozone dismantled, immigration curbed,
traditional values restored. Critics have labelled the party
xenophobic - is this the angry politics of European
disintegration?
