It seems that Helsinki has the largest amount of uncounted votes. That should work to the advantage of the Centre and against True Finns (should I still call them that ?)

They insist upon being called "the Finns Party" because "True" is one of several possible translations of the relevant word, while it carries a certain chauvinistic connotation that I suspect they were not really going for- I believe it could also be translated as "Ordinary Finns" which sounds rather different.

We settled on Average Joe Finns (or Average Jukka Finns) in an earlier discussion of it.

That captures the spirit of the Finnish word, yes.

Ha, really? Well there you go. Hence why "True Finns" was not particularly popular, I can imagine.
