| Qualitative Info |
Muutos 2011 r.p. (Change 2011) promotes an anti-migrant agenda as party, whereas the more mainstream parties have individual members who express, advocate and promote anti-migrant agenda.
In particular, Perussuomalaiset r.p. (the Finns) have individual members of parliament, who frequently express views advocating and promoting anti-migrant agenda. Nevertheless, it is important to note that they are not the only party in the Parliament whose individual MPs express such views. |
