True Finns leader Timo Soini explains his party ethos

In April Finnish nationalist party True Finns, which is anti-immigration and staunchly Euro-sceptic, saw a dramatic surge in support in the country's general election. The party quadrupled its share of the vote to win 39 seats in the 200-member parliament.

Newsnight's David Grossman went to meet the group's leader Timo Soini to find out more about them and what they represent.

Broadcast on Tuesday 10 May 2011.
