The many flaws of the Finnish politics

Finland has recently gone through the parliamentary elections, that take place every four years like the American presidential elections. The prime minister Sanna Marin had lost the elections, and now it’s replaced by Petteri Orpo, which is the leader of the National Coalition Party. Although Petteri Orpo is not yet the prime minister of Finland, I think he’s the potential new prime minister of Finland. The National Coalition Party was in the opposition, and gained more popularity from there.

Politicians from left to right in this picture: Sanna Marin, Petteri Orpo and Riikka Purra.

The main reason why the National Coalition Party gained popularity was that the Marin administration took more national debt. The national debt is one of Finland’s many problems. Speaking of which, in this blog post, let’s dive into the Finnish politics, and I will explain the flaws of the Finnish politics and society in general.

Let’s start from the left wing. (Note: I don’t hate the left wing that much like Ben Shapiro. Anyway, let’s move on.) The Finnish left wing political parties in the parliament are Left Alliance, the Green Party (The Green Party isn’t economically leftist, they are culturally left only.) and the Social Democratic Party. The Left Alliance is a more socialist version of the Social Democratic Party, and even there are some marxists in the youth organization. Many voters of the Left Alliance are poor, and unemployed. The Left Alliance wants a truly equal Finland, where there would be no inequality, and more welfare to the Finnish citizens. The Left Alliance’s politicians are pretty populistic, and hate rich people. Even the leader Li Andersson did nothing to stop bullying in schools while she was the minister of education. Well, like the Finnish proverb describes the Finnish politics: It’s easier said than done.

The Green Party is the most environmentalist political party, although the party’s voters and members are from urban areas, where the only kind of nature they can experience is in the parks. Some of them want to flatten hills, which trembles with the nature. Some members of the Green Party are mainly women, and there are more few men in the party. Fun fact: Most of the original members of the Green Party are gamers who have written articles to Finnish gaming magazines. Even the party’s founder Osmo Soininvaara loves Civilization. (Osmo Soininvaara is a pretty based guy not just for his gaming preferences, but for also his political beliefs.) The Green Party is the one of the most progressive political parties of Finland. The Green Party is too progressive, and just brag about their environmentalistic beliefs, but most of them probably haven’t touched a real forest.

Let’s move on to the old people’s party, the Social Democrats. The Social Democratic Party’s voters are mainly retired old people, who want that their pensions would be paid by the government. The Social Democratic Party is one of the largest political parties of Finland. The party’s leader Sanna Marin had gained a lot of publicity outside of Finland, and also had a lot of parties. The Social Democratic Party had taken a lot of national debt to Finland, and hasn’t fixed the other issues of the Finnish politics. Like the shortage of nurses, mental health issues, healthcare problems, etc. They even told the protesting nurses to shut up.

Translation from top left to bottom right: -I have come here really for that reason, that I want to hear and experience that feeling that you have. -More salary! -Nurses aren’t slaves! -Shame on you! -Shut up!! -Let’s take care of the nurses. Nurses take care of us.

Well, now that the Sanna Marin’s government has been voted out, they need to think about what they had been done.

Let’s move on to the Centre. The Centre Party is not a centrist party, it’s an agrarian party. The party’s former name was Maalaisliitto, which means ”Agrarian Alliance”. The party is more countryside-centric, and supports the farmers. The Centre Party is against urbanization, which isn’t that smart, since it is a waste of money fighting urbanization. The party has one good politician, Mikko Kärnä. Mikko Kärnä is one politician from the parliament that is openly against the CCP, and supports Taiwan. Finland is one of the countries bowing to the CCP’s One China Policy.

The National Coalition Party is the bourgeoisie party, supporting more capitalist society. The party supports more privatization, and less taxes and welfare subsidies. Although the party supports less national debt, when they were in the government, they took more national debt. The party has also another good politician, Tere Sammallahti. He is the gigachad of the party, who really doesn’t support taking national debt, and really supports job creation.

True Finns Party is the Finland’s nationalistic right-wing populist party, which supports leaving the European Union. Leaving EU isn’t that smart, since when UK did it, the results weren’t that great. Brexit was a warning example for the ones who desire their country out of EU. The party does also have some stupid people. In the zone elections of 2022, the one candidate advocated for voting the government out for raising the gas prices. The elections weren’t about electing a new government, it was about welfare.

When the former True Finns Party member Ano Turtiainen was kicked out of the party for his rude comments about the George Floyd incident, he founded his own party. The name of the party is Power belongs to the people. Well, not people, the Kremlin. Ano Turtiainen supports Putler’s regime, and is anti-Nato. Ano Turtiainen is also an anti-vaxxer.

The Christian Democratic Party of Finland is well, the Christian Democrats. The party basically bases their ideology around Christian values. I’m not religious, and I don’t support the party. I’m not an atheist either. Their economic policy makes sense to me, and the idea of a social market system sounds good.

The Movement Now is a party founded by a businessman named Hjallis Harkimo. Harkimo has done some shady deals with the Russians, but he later apologized his deals. The party itself is basically a market liberal party supporting free markets mainly.

After we have dug through the parties in the parliament, let’s dive to the extraparliamentary politics. The Finnish Pirate Party is basically the Pirate Party, which is for a more libertarian society, and less copyrights. I support a reformed copyright system, where the copyright law is loosened, but copyright is still present. The current copyright system favours the big media corporations. Copyright system must protect more small indie artists, since that’s what the whole copyright system was created in the first place.

The Open party is basically the best political party in Finland in my opinion. Pretty sad, that they aren’t that popular than the other big parties. The party supports lower housing prices, environmentalism, legalizing sex work and marijuana, euthanasia, and other things. The values of the party are pretty pragmatic, and also liberal.

Speaking of which, the Liberal party is the party for the American-style libertarians of Finland. They desire for a smaller government, and public services.

The Freedom Alliance is the nationalistic version of the Liberal party, and they support leaving the EU (and now probably NATO) and also are anti-Russia as well. They want a neutral and free Finland, outside of foreign influence.

Finland’s People First party is the extreme right-wing populist party of Finland, and nearly fascist. They want Finland to get out of EU, and want to restrict the immigration. They are also openly conservative, and most of the party’s members are pro-Russia. Especially the party’s founder Marco De Wit.

The Blue and Black movement is the Finnish Nazi party. They are one of those salty extremist fools.

Also the Finnish Communist Party are also extremist fools, that support communism. History has taught us that communism and fascism are both dangerous and evil ideologies, due to the atrocities of Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.

The Finnish society has many problems that the representatives are pretty lazy to solve. Finland needs new ideas, but we have that really bad case of cheems mindset. ”This doesn’t work in Finland” is the most common phrase used by politicians that are too afraid of change. Finland’s problems are the sinking economy, growing debt, sinking education system, crime rate, and the aging crisis. The lower birth rate of Finland has led to that situation that there are less Finnish children is schools than the non-Finnish children. Also a lot of Finnish politicians are pretty aged. All hope isn’t yet lost. Finns can still fix the problems of their society, and improve it. I would probably become a candidate in the upcoming elections, when I’m over 18. I would fix all the problems of the Finnish society, and help my country rise from it’s malaise. Since Finland is a democracy, people can get their voice heard by voting, petitions, and influencing. So, don’t complain, influence! Why bother complain, just go out there, and voice your opinion!
