Which party leader would you support?

Solmyr

The Finnish parliamentary elections are coming up on Sunday and will determine our government for the next 4 years. The current center-left government led by Sanna Marin (first one in the poll above) and having a lot of female ministers has become somewhat famous around the world. Next one might be quite different. The poll includes leaders of all major and the more prominent minor parties. Cast your votes!

Bonus memey picture from one of the election debates!

I think the PM is doing fine, but voted Catwoman because supervillain.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Bayraktar!

Sanna Marin have been most impressive handling the Ukrainian war. Compared to the assclowns ruling Sweden she has very much been the sober adult in the room.

She also fills the normal Languish standard when it comes to politicians, so my vote goes to her.

Obviously the woman with a sandpit.

Well this is unusual since I actually know who one of the candidates is  :P

Voted current pro-NATO government.

I went with #9, I'm pretty sure he threw his right eye down Mimir's Well in order to gain wisdom.  That's the sort of sacrifice far too few politicians are willing to make.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Ten and Eleven are scarey, looked to have spent way too much of their time posting on the internet.

Otherwise not too bother, the current PM will have done marvelously to have Finland (and poss.Sweden) ensconced within NATO by the end of her term.

France and the UK should consider a revival of a Finish support intervention force, maybe also bring in the anglo-Dutch marine force and make it a duel role of suporting Norway and Finland whilst 'threatening' Russias far north (naval ports) ?

Those two guys would probably fit on Languish quite well. :D

I voted for the PM with a known party record.  :ph34r:

I see that Finnish male politicians favour wacky goatees.
