Finnland presidential elections were like the prime example of elections in a civil democratic society. I can't wait to grab my bag of popcorn and watch the way it isn't supposed to be done as we'll see in the USA lol
Very difficult and problematic election because we had only good candidates to choose from.

Yeah, like that is the most important thing of a politician. Some idiots seem to think so and vote people only based how they look like....Sanna Marin is a prime example. No wonder the world is so fucked up when narcissistic egomaniacs rule it. Often time they are supported by lambs like you who only see how the person looks like but not how he or she is behaving. Mr. Stubb is a bully and an arrogant dickhead. Lol.

I actually considered him first but let’s be real, Finland doesn’t survive if it’s just for finns. Of course there are many problems that needs to be solved so that things can work but our birthrate is going downhill for 10th year in row. That’s why we need international relationships and more people who want to come to live here, work, pay taxes and start a family. Otherwise there will be no one left to pay our pensions in the future and instead we pay back nations debts through enormous taxes for the rest of our lives 🤷♀️
