In your first post you suggested that there was no "feeling of mutual belonging" among the Scandinavian nations, with the statements made by this politician as proof. That would make the notion a myth.

What is it that bothers you so much that we can discuss the Scandinavian identity without having to include the Fenno-Ugrian?

It doesn't really. You, however, seem bothered by the fact that Finland is by culture inherently a Nordic country and not just part of some geo-political definition. Those posters Svin mentioned called us a Brother Nation (this a Norwegian poster). The reasons for such charity extend beyond the geographic factor. But of course we are getting off-topic again.

What would you propose? Umh.. you already made it clear that the ethnic Swedish identity of the Finland Swedes should be wiped out ("about time" you said, right?). What next? Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, ...?

This is more than cryptic, to be frank. You are lying blatantly. I never said about wiping Finland-Swedish identity (not the same as Swedish identity) from Finland. I am a Finland-Swede. I talked about Swedish as an official language, as opposed to a minority language.
