General information

I want to bring the Estonian politics from upside down to back on its feet. What does that mean? No political party in Estonia stands for the national interests of our country, and if nobody fills that empty space fast, we will soon have no sovereignty left. Without independence, the state of Estonia will cease to exist, and then nothing else will have importance either.
