Talk:Tarja Halonen

message: Halonen´s political attitudes are those of the extreme left. She is highly unpopular among the business sector and her presidency is generally considered as a pure joke by those carrying financial responsibility. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.90.68.92 (talk) 08:25, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I almost fell from my chair laughing after reading the "extreme left" comment. I just imagined Tanja with a Che Guevara T-Shirt, smoking a cigar. Maybe pledging allegiance to Hugo Chavez. 209.124.118.111 — Preceding undated comment added 15:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plans 

message: If I remember correctly, Ahtisaari was still contemplating on weather or not to run for President, when Halonen announced her candidacy, SDP announced party elections to decide their candidate, and only then did Ahtisaari decide to not run. Supposedly partly because the party pulled the carpet from under his legs and would have forced the incumbent into a primary? That's speculation, but the part in the article, that "the Social Democrats began to look for a new candidate" is false. As she and her supporters engineered her into the running prior to this.
Also, the tone of "the party concluded that a woman candidate would be the best" sounds as if it was the result of some brainstorming, whilst she had to still compete in and win the SDP primary.

message: I suggest changing those words as there still is Vasemmistoliitto holding seats in the Eduskunta. Besides them, there's two separate communist parties - though unrepresented in the parlament - in Finland. She might be on the left side of the pinko party, but when there's still a red party in existence, she can hardly be "extreme left".
"Despite these early flirtations with Stalinist dictatorships" is also heavily biased. Stalin died in -53, decades before Halonen would be politically active. I fail to see to connection, and would like to change the wording if there's no reasonable opposition. --Kargokultti 10:25, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice to see someone got there before I did, though being the little leftie I am, I'd still like to overhaul the entire "Political Views" -bit. I'd guess Tarja's opposition to closer ties with e.g. the US must've had something to do with the war in Vietnam, but here it seems like she was merely against trade agreements and that kind of shizzle. But I'll leave it as it is, as a leftist bias would be (nearly) as bad as a right wing one. --Kargokultti 08:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I've heard that the audience chanted "Tar-dza, Tar-dza". If Conan O'Brien likes her so much he could have learned to pronounce her name right so he could have informed the audience. — JIP | Talk 15:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure it's meant as a joke. Conan mispronounces Finnish names on purpose, like all the other "mistakes" on Finnish trivia. It's a comedy show after all. --Laisak 18:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
