UKIP puolueen puheenjohtaja Paul Nuttall erosi 9.6., lievästi alakanttiin menneiden parlamenttivaalien jälkeen
(0 paikkaa ja 1.8% äänistä - 2015 vaalissa saivat 1 paikan ja 12.6% äänistä)MutuPedia: UK Independence Party leadership election, 2017 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Independence_Party_leadership_election,_2017)
QuoteEhdokasilmoittautumisia on otettu vastaan 23.6. alkaen. Kisaan ovat virallisesti ilmoittautuneet David Coburn, Ben Walker ja Peter Whittle. Sekä Anne Marie Waters. Ehdakasasettelu päättyy 28.7. Uusi puheenjohtaja julistetaan 29.9.
Anne Marie Waters
(jäljempänä AMW) kerännee valtaosan ehdokkaiden mediahuomiosta. Voi hyvällä syyllä sanoa että hän ei ole puolueen eliitin suosikki.
QuoteVivian Evans, Editor in Chief for UKIP Daily kirjoitti torstaina jutun Appalling and outrageous (http://www.ukipdaily.com/appalling-and-outrageous/)
I am appalled.
What has our Party, what has UKIP become?
QuoteOn June 22nd, Bill Etheridge wrote a remarkable article in the Daily Telegraph where he called supporters of AMW 'neo-fascist entryists' and compared them to ... nazis (see the letters in our Letters Column here (http://www.ukipdaily.com/letters-editor-friday-23rd-june-2017/)).
Also on June 22nd, AMW sent out an invitation to her supporters, announcing the launch of her campaign on July 1st in Rotherham. We published her announcement here (http://www.ukipdaily.com/letters-editor-thursday-22nd-june-2017/).
The venue for the launch of her Leadership Campaign was subsequently cancelled by the venue owners, on advice, one assumes, of the police.
AMW then sent out a further communique which we also published (http://www.ukipdaily.com/letters-editor-tuesday-27th-june-2017/), announcing that another venue had been found. This time, the venue has not been publicised.
This is now the situation in our country: free speech is not allowed when it is deemed to be islamophobic. Oh, they'll say, it's not because of that, you are perfectly free to say what you want, but when you do so, you may cause a public order offense because HnH may turn up, it might get nasty ... and you may be taken to jail for hate speech.
So we better convene in secret locations now?
QuoteBut there's worse: see this press release from the official UKIP Press Office
We would urge any UKIP member or supporter to think very carefully before becoming involved
QuoteFrankly, this is a sham contest before it has even started. If Top Management and Party Leaders dislike AMW so much and think she's so dangerous to the Party because of her views, then they should come out in the open and officially remove her from the Party, but not try sniping from the back or influencing members and AMW supporters by unfair means: "think carefully before you go there!". They're behaving, in other words, like the establishment parties and MSM have been behaving to UKIP these past years.
I for one am appalled and outraged by this press release and the attitude of those who wrote and released it.
2017-06-30 BBC: Anti-Islam campaigner Anne Marie Waters launches UKIP bid (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-40442878)
QuoteAnne Marie Waters was blocked from standing for UKIP at the election, with then leader Paul Nuttall saying her views made him "uncomfortable".
She campaigns against Sharia law in the UK and has called Islam "evil".
A UKIP spokesman said all leadership candidates would be vetted by the party's National Executive Committee, who will decide which ones will be allowed to go forward to a vote of the membership.
QuoteWaters announced her plans to stand for the UKIP leadership at a rally in Manchester earlier this month, where she was introduced by former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.
She told the cheering crowd "Islam is a killing machine" and urged them to "join UKIP and vote for me," adding that the party will "try to stop me". (Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLAV_y2qJh4)) (3:23)
QuoteShe has been defended by former UKIP leadership contender Raheem Kassam, editor of the Breitbart London website, who wrote earlier this year (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/05/02/kassam-ukip-ditches-anne-marie-waters-party/): "If UKIP ditches Anne Marie Waters, the party is over".
2017-06-30 Express & Star : Exclusive interview with Nigel Farage (https://www.expressandstar.com/news/politics/2017/06/30/farage-tory-failings-could-derail-brexit/)
QuoteOn the potential for him to return to leadership, Mr Farage said: "I did my bit and at the end of June last year there wasn't much more I could do.
"I'm not happy to see [UKIP] the way that it is, but it doesn't keep me awake at night.
"I'm looking at it, I'm thinking about it. I would need to be reassured that if I became leader again I could actually lead.
"That's something which in 2015 and 2016 was very difficult." He added: "Do I really want to come back to this? No. But that doesn't mean I won't. UKIP won't disappear whatever happens, but if UKIP isn't strong you may see a new hard right type of thing emerge. Those sort of far right elements were not welcome in UKIP when I was leading it and not one of them reached any position of prominence.
"I was pretty clear as to what our direction of travel was. UKIP does need to be cautious about that."

edit: otsikko, koska Farage ei lähtenyt kisaan
UKIPin seuraavaksi tavoitteeksi tulisi asettaa Brittien vaalijärjestelmän muuttaminen suhteelliseksi. Pitää samalla tavalla paineistaa valtapuolueita kuin EU-asiassakin tehtiin.
Toinen strategia olisi se, että Britannian kansallismieliset liittyvät konservatiiveihin ja pyrkivät muuttamaan puolueen linjaa sisältäpäin.

(Telegraphin artikkeli pääosin maksumuurin takana)QuoteITV News (http://www.itv.com/news/2017-07-02/nigel-farage-rules-out-ukip-leadership-bid/) Nigel Farage has ruled out standing to replace Paul Nuttall as Ukip leader
The three-time leader acknowledged his habit of resigning and returning to the role had become an "ongoing joke" and that to return now would be "premature".
He said the main factors for choosing not to stand was the threat of violence and the "amateur shambles" of the party's ruling national executive committee.
Quote
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Farage left the door open to an eventual return if a "full and proper" Brexit was not delivered.
Quote"To return now would be premature. But I'm still committed to the great Brexit battle and I will continue in my role as the leader of a group in the European Parliament, overseeing the Brexit process.
"In many ways, what happens in that parliament over the next two years is perhaps as important as everything that goes on in Westminster.
"Of course I want a full and proper Brexit, and if in 2019 we reach the end of the Article 50 process and a huge gap is left, whether that is not taking back our fishing rights, the continuation of free movement or still paying Brussels too much money, I would not hesitate in throwing myself back into the front line of domestic politics."

The Guardian: Large influx of new Ukip members prompts fears of far-right takeover (https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/02/ukip-members-anne-marie-waters-anti-islam-far-right-fears)
QuoteUkip is facing potential takeover by far-right forces after a large number of new members joined in an apparent attempt to back a leadership candidate who has described Islam as "evil", (on se hurja!) party sources have said.
With the race to take over from Paul Nuttall wide open after Nigel Farage announced he would not stand again, sources say the arrival of about 1,000 new members in two weeks has sparked fears of "infiltration" by supporters of Anne Marie Waters.
QuoteWith little more than 15,000 votes in total cast when Nuttall won the leadership last November, some within Ukip fear it would not take many more new members to potentially push a tight race Waters's way.
QuoteIf Waters did win it would most likely see the end of Ukip :roll:
QuoteSome in Ukip believe it could be difficult to expel or suspend Waters now she is standing for leader.
QuoteUkip has a policy of not permitting members who were formerly in far-right groups. However, the sources say, it is very hard to weed out such people, especially those linked to the English Defence League, an informal anti-Muslim street protest group.
QuoteDefinitely standing is Peter Whittle, a London assembly member whose platform is also largely based around Islam. While less extreme than Waters, Whittle has talked of the party becoming a patriotic "cultural movement".

Ukip MEPs Will Quit En Masse If Anti-Islam Candidate Becomes New Leader (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ukip-islam-farage-anne-marie-waters_uk_595a4ae7e4b0da2c7324aac0?)
QuoteUkip MEPs are preparing a mass walkout if an anti-Islam leadership candidate backed by Tommy Robinson is given a senior position at the top of the party.
Officials are panicking that a wave of far-right activists have infiltrated the party in order to vote for the controversial Anne Marie Waters, with one source describing them as the "Brownshirts' Momentum" ( :facepalm: ) - a reference to Adolf Hitler's militia during his rise to power.
QuoteSeveral Ukip sources claim Waters has done a deal with leadership front-runner Peter Whittle to become deputy leader if he is victorious in the race.
HuffPost UK has learnt senior party figures will be holding "informal talks" in Strasbourg this week to discuss what to do if Waters wins the leadership contest or is handed the position of deputy leader.
One source believes 18 of the 20 MEPs could quit the party - including Nigel Farage.
Speaking to HuffPost UK, one MEP said mass resignations "would be an inevitable consequence" of her winning the leadership or being made deputy leader.
Another MEP said: "I think every MEP would quit apart from Stuart Agnew and perhaps Gerard Batten."
QuoteBill Etheridge, the West Midlands MEP who came third in the first of Ukip's leadership elections last year, said he would "immediately resign" if Waters becomes leader.
"I am appalled that she is even allowed in the party. There's been a failure of the management of the party in allowing her to be involved in the race."
Tuskin on kovin kaukaa haettua, kun veikkaan että jutussa käytetty nimetön lähde on Etheridge.
Mahtaakohan se olla tämä Hommaforumin Britannian siipi, joka on nyt junttaamassa? Toukokuun paikallisvaaleissa meidän kylä meni konservatiiveille, UKIP:in saadessa ehkä kymmenen prosenttia koko äänipotista.

QuoteHuffington Post: Äärioikeisto valtaamassa Britannian Ukip-puolueen – lähes kaikki mepit eroamassa
Uutissivuston mukaan Britannian populistipuoluetta uhkaa perussuomalaisten kohtalo.
Uutissivusto Huffington Postin (siirryt toiseen palveluun) tietojen mukaan Britannian itsenäisyyspuolue Ukip on hajoamisen partaalla.
Puolue on valitsemassa itselleen uutta puheenjohtajaa ja ehdolle on vahvasti noussut erittäin islam-vastainen Anne Marie Waters. Hän on kutsunut islam-uskontoa "tappokoneeksi" ja perustanut islamia vastustavan Sharia Watch -painostusryhmän.
Watersin kerrotaan myös liittoutuneen uusnatsijärjestö English Defence Leaguen entisen puheenjohtajan Tommy Robinsonin kanssa ja perustanut hänen kanssaan islam-vastaisen Pegida UK -järjestön.
Ukip esti Watersin osallistumisen kesäkuun parlamenttivaaleihin, mutta hän on saanut olla puolueen jäsen. Jo tämä pöyristyttää osaa sen mepeistä.
Britannian tiedotusvälineet ovat kertoneet, että puolueeseen on parin viime viikon aikana liittynyt noin tuhat uutta jäsentä. Heidän joukossaan uskotaan olevan paljon äärioikeistolaisia, jotka olisivat valmiit äänestämään Watersin puolueen johtajaksi tai muuhun korkea-arvoiseen tehtävään.
Ukip-puolue romahti parlamenttivaaleissa eikä saanut yhtään kansanedustajaa. Puolueella on kuitenkin 20 edustajaa Euroopan parlamentissa.
Huffington Postin haastattelemien meppien mukaan jopa 18 euroedustajaa voisi erota puolueesta, jos Waters nousee johonkin merkittävään virkaan. Eroajien joukossa olisi mm. puolueen pitkäaikainen puheenjohtaja Nigel Farage.
Myös uuden, libertariaarisen puolueen perustamisesta on käyty keskusteluja, mutta ne ovat vasta alkuvaiheessa, Huffington Post kertoo.
Ehdokasasettelu päättyy 28. heinäkuuta ja uusi puheenjohtaja valitaan puoluekokouksessa syyskuun 29. päivä.
Homman juntta iskee kuin tuhat volttia, nyt myös Britanniassa! :roll:

2017-09-07 Express & Star: UKIP's anti-Islamist candidate Anne Marie Waters declares war on media (https://www.expressandstar.com/news/politics/2017/09/07/anti-islamist-waters-declares-war-on-media/)
QuoteAnne Marie Waters hates the mainstream media.
In fact Ms Waters - the most controversial of a number of controversial candidates for UKIP leadership - tells me she sees the press and broadcast media as her 'biggest obstacle' as she bids to succeed Paul Nuttall in the hotseat.
The media, she says, in an accent crafted on the streets of Dublin, are out to get her by branding her an obsessive anti-Islamist. "My core aim is to challenge and dismantle this entire mess of a media," she says.
Quote"I'm an issue by issue politician. I'm a democrat, essentially." She describes herself as 'staunchly pro-NHS and pro-welfare state', adding: "I'm also pro-British culture and British identity, and European cultures and identity.
"I'd like us to preserve Europe as we know it for future generations."
Ms Waters makes it clear that she could not care less if her views cause offence. "Everyone's offended all the time," she says. "We get over it. It's called being a grown up. I'm not going to bend over backwards to not cause offence.
"I'm offended by many of the things that are written in the Quran, but noone is concerned about me being offended, or the millions of non-Muslims who are offended, so why should we be so concerned about offence in the other direction?"
Enää viikko! Klipin debatissa "kärkiehdokkaat" Peter Whittle ja Anne Marie Waters.

QuoteUKIP congratulates AfD on entry to Bundestag
Published Sep 25, 2017
The interim leader of UKIP, Steve Crowther, has congratulated the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) on achieving its electoral breakthrough and entering the German Parliament with 13.5% of the vote.
"Like UKIP, the AfD offers a balancing force within its national politics which has been skewed towards the centre-left consensus. This is a brave move in Germany, whose politics has been overshadowed by the Nazi era. It shows that the people are no longer prepared to be ignored and coerced by the liberal left.
"It is telling that the AfD vote comes from all age groups, is driven by former non-voters as well as disillusioned conservative and left voters, and comes largely from the employed and unemployed working class.
"Once again, the elites are learning that democracy actually means listening to the majority, no matter how much they despise their vulgar attitudes."

Express - Henry Bolton: Who is Ukip's new leader? (http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/860434/Henry-Bolton-Ukip-leader-Nigel-Farage)
QuoteThe 54-year-old international security expert is a former British Army officer, Thames Valley police officer and UN Governor
QuoteMr Bolton started his work with the EU in 2003, leading a team managing the Macedonian border then the Georgian border and last year finished two and a half years of working as a strategic planner for the EU Common Security and Defence Policy ( :P ) in Ukraine, Libya and North Africa, Afghainstan, Kosovo and Georgia.
BBC: Who is new UKIP leader Henry Bolton? (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41444432)
QuoteHenry Bolton's surprise election as UKIP leader marks one of the most meteoric rises in British politics in recent years.
The former army officer turned security consultant only joined the party in 2014 and, until recently, was scarcely a household name within UKIP let alone national politics.
QuoteThe 54-year-old, who was born in Kenya, was commissioned in the Wessex Regiment in the Territorial Army in 1992, and promoted to captain in 1994.
He served as a infantry officer and tank crewman in Germany, Belize, Cyprus and Bosnia.
QuoteAfter leaving the army, for eight years he was a police officer in the Thames Valley force, during which time he received an award for outstanding bravery.
In 2016, he stood for the post of Kent Police and Crime Commissioner, finishing in second place.
QuoteSpeaking to Kent News during the campaign he warned against UKIP turning itself into the "UK Nazi party" under the "wrong leadership".
"Ukip was set up to fight the 'totalitarian' effects of EU influence on British society," he added.
"Therefore, I will not sit back and watch the party be hijacked by those who seek to now seize on our success to drive forward their own agenda."
In his victory speech he quoted a motto from the Sandhurst Military Academy, from which he graduated, insisting that his intention was to "serve to lead". He has said he does not expect to be paid in the role.
He lives in Kent with his wife Tatiana and his three children, the youngest of whom was born during a train journey between Kent and London in 2016.

The Guardian - Henry Bolton: former soldier has reputation as competent technocrat (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/sep/29/henry-bolton-former-soldier-has-reputation-as-competent-technocrat)
QuoteWhile occasionally talking about Islam as a "problem" at hustings, much of Bolton's pitch was based on his promised ability to put Ukip on a more professional footing, and unify the various factions that have battled each other for years.
This task could be complicated by a couple of issues, one of which is his lack of obvious charisma. "Henry is very organised but you can't exactly see him wowing everyone on the Daily Politics," said a senior party figure.
Another potential issue is that a party that likes to style itself as the insurgent upstart has selected the most establishment leader it could.
Another Ukip figure said: "There's lots of people in Ukip who like to say we challenge the elites. Well, Henry's background and OBE make him look like part of the elite."

UKIP voisi vaihtaa nimekseen "The Blues".
My victory stops us becoming 'UK Nazi party' (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/new-ukip-leader-henry-bolton-my-victory-stops-us-becoming-uk-nazi-party-a3647321.html)
QuoteNew Ukip leader Henry Bolton: My victory stops us becoming 'UK Nazi party'
Ukip's new leader Henry Bolton has said the party avoided becoming the "UK Nazi Party" by electing him instead of a candidate who described Islam as "evil".
The little-known candidate beat the two front-runners in the contest - controversial Sharia Watch director Anne Marie Waters and London Assembly member Peter Whittle - to win with 3,874 votes.
His shock victory avoided a potential split of the party, with a number of MEPs reportedly threatening to quit if Ms Waters won, and appeared to bring back on board Ukip big-hitters Nigel Farage and millionaire donor Arron Banks.
The former Army officer told the party's conference in Torquay: "Brexit is our core task, however, it is not the end of the line" and signalled a softening of Ukip's message on Islam.
Asked whether Ukip had avoided becoming the "UK Nazi Party", referring to comments he made in the campaign, Mr Bolton told a press conference: "Absolutely, yes."
He went on: "Absolutely, I think the party has today voted for a leader who has been very open about what he feels is the way forward, and that's myself of course."
Shortly after his victory was announced, Mr Farage took to Twitter to declare himself "delighted", describing Mr Bolton as "a man of real substance".
Insurance tycoon Mr Banks signalled he may begin backing Ukip again, which would be seen as a major coup for the new leader.
Mr Banks tweeted: "This is great news & I'm sure both myself and Nigel will want to re-engage with the party!"
Mr Bolton denied he was a caretaker for Mr Farage and said he would be speaking to the former leader in the coming days about what role he could play in the party.
He said he was not aware of the ex-leader playing a role in his election behind the scenes.
Discussing how he could replace Ukip's talisman, Mr Bolton said: "The personality thing - I'm not Nigel, none of us are Nigel, none of you are Nigel, Nigel is Nigel and I'm not going to try and fill his boots, I have my own style, I have my own personality and I think you will see that emerge."
He added: "When I'm standing up on the platform then I'm quite firm in my approach, but, actually, get me, like Nigel, in the bar with a beer and I like a laugh and a joke, and I'm just as convivial as he is, I think."
Mr Bolton said he would be "very happy" to have a conversation with Mr Banks about returning to the fold as long as he supports the party's direction under his leadership.
On policy, Mr Bolton stressed Islam was "more dominating" than Christianity but said he would ditch Ukip's general election "integration agenda", which focused almost entirely on Muslims, declaring: "We need to look at the integration of all immigrant communities in this country."
He said as a former police officer there was "an issue" with face coverings but said focusing purely on banning the burka would not solve a security problem.
"Islam is of concern, the nature of Islam and the practices of the religion are such that they tend to have a more dominating effect in a community where there's a large Muslim population than the Christian community," he said.
He added: "I absolutely abhor the rhetoric that says we are at war with Islam.
"My platform is a broad one for delivering for the British people across the place, it is not focused on Islam."
Mr Bolton did, however, signal he could be the latest in a long line of Ukip leaders to act as a scourge of liberals.
Commenting on the transgender debate, he said: "I think we are getting a bit far when we are encouraging children in some cases to question their own sexuality, I think that is certainly going too far."
Mr Bolton said he would be having a conversation with Ms Waters, who appeared in the press room shortly before the announcement of the leadership result, before deciding her future in the party.
"One of my main tasks now is going to be to unite the party and move forward," he said.
Speaking to members from the conference floor, Mr Bolton said: "I do not see myself now as simply being your leader, I see myself as serving this party.
"You are the party, not me, and this party needs to serve its country.
"There is no greater calling than that and I would call on all of you, whether you voted for me or not, to rally around the party, to be united."

Henry Bolton: Newly Elected UKIP Leader Addresses The Party's Conference (09/30/2017) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNx5lG6Tucw) (24:30)
Ei UKIP eroa enää mitenkään konservatiivipuolueen Brexit-siivestä.

Racists nearly killed Ukip this week, but we live to fight our most important battle
Nigel Farage
Well, that was a close run thing.
I spent most of yesterday wondering whether after nearly a quarter of a century, my journey with UKIP was over. Be in no doubt that if the anti-Islam candidate Anne Marie Waters had won the party leadership, there would have been a mass walk-out of which I would have been a part.
Mercifully, sense prevailed, and disaster has been averted. Henry Bolton is our new leader and with him comes new hope for UKIP at a time when the party's voice needs to be heard more than ever – a voice that was effectively mute over the past year as we lurched from crisis to crisis.
"Henry who?" I hear you say.
OK, I'm the first to acknowledge that Henry Bolton does not yet have a public profile. But he has something far more important that the other party leaders don't - real life experience.

Daily Mail: UKIP chief's glamour model lover, 25, is suspended from the party over racist texts about Prince Harry's wife-to-be (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5266657/Ukip-leaders-girlfriends-racist-Meghan-Markle-messages.html)
QuoteScandal-hit Ukip leader Henry Bolton was plunged into a fresh crisis last night after it was revealed that his glamour model girlfriend made racist remarks about Meghan Markle.
Mr Bolton, 54, was already facing calls for his resignation after he left his wife for 25-year-old Jo Marney.
Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal shocking messages in which Ms Marney says that Prince Harry's 'black American' fiancee will 'taint' the Royal Family with 'her seed' and pave the way for a 'black king'.
Ms Marney also says that she would never have sex with 'a negro' because they are 'ugly'.
During the exchange, Ms Marney – who is from Kent and describes herself as an actor and music journalist – also complains that there is 'an immigration problem', saying: 'This is Britain. Not Africa'.
After her friend accuses her of being racist, she writes: 'Lol so what... Not wanting other races and cultures to invade your own culture doesn't mean I hate their race. Just means I don't want their cultures invading mine.'
Alluding to ethnic minorities in general, Ms Marney writes that they are 'pushing their way to the top slowly slowly. Next will be a Muslim PM. And a black king'.
QuoteShe was immediately suspended from Ukip last night after The Mail on Sunday alerted party chiefs to her grossly offensive comments.
Our revelations come just days before Bolton is due to face a crunch meeting over his own future with Ukip following outrage over his new relationship.
QuoteIf Mr Bolton is ousted by the party's ruling National Executive Committee on Thursday, it would leave the party having to elect its fifth leader in barely 18 months.

No eipä olla kovin kaukana tästäkään. Eikös Lontoon pormestari ole jo oikeauskoinen ja Idi Aminhan tarjoitui kuningatteren siipaksi. :roll:
Boltonin puheenjohtaja-aika jäi kohtalaisen lyhyeksi. MEP Gerard Batten on väliaikaisjohtaja.

UKIP puolueen väliaikainen johtaja Gerard Batten vetää kyllä erinomaisesti tämän haastattelun. Selvästi suvakeilta alkavat argumentit loppumaan ja käymään vanhoiksi. Hyvä merkki.
https://youtu.be/ySnOc2YmL9E
Puheenjohtajasta ei järjestetä vaalia, koska kukaan ei ilmoittautunut haastamaan väliaikaisjohtaja Battenia. Hänet nimitettiin eilen puolueen uudeksi puheenjohtajaksi. Hieno homma :)

Breitbartin artikkeli (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/14/gerard-batten-confirmed-permanent-ukip-leader/) aiheesta
Tuossa on mukana lainaus viime vuodelta
QuoteBreitbart London spoke (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/10/04/afttwitter-ban-ukip-london-mep-hits-back-suspended-islam-death-cult/) to Batten, a member of the European Parliament, in 2017 after he was suspended from the Twitter platform for calling Islam a "death cult" and he confirmed although he'd complained to the social network he'd received no response. After reinstatement, Batten remarked: "I am back now, and Islam is still a death cult."
Voi olettaa että tuossa kysymyksessä linja terävöityy huomattavasti.
