The great Finnish election thread

[Stefu]

National Coalition wouldn't be going down if someone other than the dishrag was the party leader. Because Ville just can't be seen as a prime minister, the election became a PM election between Sledge and Anneli, and people who hate Social Democrats voted for Centre and people who hate Centre voted for Social Democrats.

But the Christian Democrat loss =

Yes, Lipponen.

[Pekka]

Stefu, I agree with you.

Ande, why did you have to remind me?

He is also known for his job as lifeguard in the US... I remember his interview when he said he pissed off Madonna for not letting her in somewhere, actually physically stopping her from entering and Sean Penn was laughing his ass off.. .
He is a legend.

Lipponen = Sledge

There is a finnish, swedish national party?


What's on thier agenda, reunification with Sweden?

[Kassiopeia]

The Swedish National Party has no political agenda, other than promoting mandatory Swedish in schools.

[Gangerolf]

you mean the Swedish People's Party?

[Pekka]

Well.. swedes finns are large group here in Finland, so I guess they deserve some voice in parliament too. Basicalle they just make sure we stay bi-langual country.

[Kassiopeia]

Well it's "Kansallinen puolue" (National party) or "Kansanpuolue" (People's party), the difference in Finnish isn't that big. The acronym is "RKP" so it's either one of those. Not that I give a damn.

[Pekka]

But this is interesting..
Fact: Finland was the first country to give women the right to vote
Fact: Finland has the first woman president
.. and it's now very possible we get woman as PM too. We are country lead by women.. God save us

[Stefu]

Greens would have done better if it weren't for the Drake mess.

It would have been pretty funny to have both Halme and Drake in parliament though
