Europeans are perfectly capable of breaking their own. The best system is worthless when politicians ignore laws and courts and journalists are willing to cover for them.
Mail-in voting was banned in France a long time ago.
The reason there is less fraud in Europe, is because all the parties are the same anyway. They don't need to rig as they do in the US or even cheat. No matter who wins, the population is absolutely screwed.
That's how it's supposed to be in Germany, too. Didn't stop them from "finding" more mail-in ballots they next day in a recent election in Berlin. And that election was already a redo of an election that was so fraught with "irregularities" the courts said it had to be redone.
Laws and regulations go out the window when it suits them.
The Finns party is polling at 20%, neck in neck with the Socialists and the Eurocrat "centre-right" party. If that's how the parliament ends up, the most likely result is a grand coalition of the KOK and the Social Democrats with a couple of other "centrist" parties in order to lock the Finns out of government.
The party self-statedly bases its politics on "freedom, responsibility and democracy, equal opportunities, education, supportiveness, tolerance and caring"[ and supports multiculturalism and LGBT rights. Their foreign stances are pro-NATO and pro-European orientated
According to Wikipedia, but regardless, sounds like absolute garbage.
So they're basically Mitt Romney. I don't care, that doesn't benefit me in any way. They can raise taxes all they want, as long as they stop importing millions into my continent.
That seems like a very fragile coalition. Finns and the Swedish People's Party are not all that compatible, and wouldn't Movement Now need to get at least 5% to gain list seats?
Pro-EU and pro-free market are not even close to the same thing. If the real stakeholders in European politics don't want to see the Finns in power, they will bully or bribe the establishment parties to keep them out. If they are able to participate in government, it will mean that they're likely just as co-opted and ineffectual as the Sweden Democrats have turned out to be.
Polling locations will stop counting at 11pm and she'll improbably, miraculously receive a huge boost at 3am, pushing her over the line.
Seriously though I hope nobody else uses America's broken election system.

Before all the shenanigans here I remember hearing accusations about mail-in ballot fraud in France. It seemed like common sense not to allow that.

(We found more mail-in ballot boxes.)
Possible, but that didnt happen in Italy.
That's so pre-communism.

Laws and regulations go out the window wherever leftists are permitted to participate.

This is the 'center-right' party:

Basically the exact opposite of national socialism, and they’re “right wing”.

Too bad, I always liked PMs who attend the funerals of Nazis.
Not that elections ever made any difference.
Based Finland, once again, trying to save Scandanavia.
We're not Scandinavian, and please don't group us in anything that has anything to do with Sweden, sincerely fuck Sweden.
