I'm not surprised really, Finland's cost of living crisis has been a big deal for ages. I mean, who can afford housing and food anymore? It's not like Marin's government didn't try to address it, but sometimes you just have to listen to the people more, you know? I think the National Coalition Party did a good job of framing their message as being more 'practical' and less about ideologies. And yeah, Finland's electoral system is pretty weird, it's all about those coalition governments... Still, I hope Sanna Marin can come back stronger, she was trying to do some good things for the country
I dont get why Finns went with the National Coalition Party . I mean, Marin's left-wing stuff seemed pretty solid to me... like, reducing carbon emissions and investing in education? those are some sick moves . And yeah, inflation is a real problem, but shouldn't we be trying to tackle it rather than letting it dictate our politics? I guess the Finns just wanted someone who could give them a break from all the stress and uncertainty . The opposition party's 'fiscal responsibility' vibes might've appealed to some folks too, but for me, it sounds like they're just gonna cut social services and stuff... no thanks
I'm kinda surprised by this outcome, I thought Sanna Marin was doing alright for Finland . It seems like the Finns were feeling the pinch of inflation and it really hurt her government's chances...the opposition party just presented a more appealing alternative, you know? I think it's also worth noting that Finland's electoral system is pretty unique, so it's not surprising that smaller parties can make a big impact . It'll be interesting to see how this affects the country's future plans and policies...will they go more green or focus on economic growth?
I'm kinda surprised that Finland's cost of living crisis was the main reason for Sanna Marin's government to get toppled . I mean, it's not like she didn't try, right? But sometimes it feels like the opposition party just capitalizes on everyone's fears and anxieties about inflation and stuff. The thing is, I'm still not entirely convinced that a more balanced approach to economic management would've made that big of a difference . And what about the environment? Didn't Finland do pretty well with reducing carbon emissions under Marin's gov? It just feels like there's always gonna be some trade-off between growth and sustainability, you know?
