Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin concedes election

oh man what just happened in finland sanna marin went from being this young firecracker pm to concessioning defeat she did good tho, 43 seats ain't bad but that opposition party national coalition party is like yay we're gonna fix finland and all petteri orpo is talkin a lot about curbing spending and stopping public debt it's like he's been studying the us republican playbook anyway marin might not be in power anymore but she still got love from many young folks gotta respect her for staying proud despite losing

oh man i'm still trying to process this news sanna marin is like my ultimate girl crush i mean 37 and already one of the youngest pm's in history but it looks like she didn't quite get the majority lol anyway i'm kinda sad for her and the social democrats they did pretty well considering all the drama and stuff that went down during their term i guess petteri orpo is gonna be a tough act to follow though hopefully he can fix finland's economy and make it more stable for everyone

I THINK IT'S A BIT DISAPPOINTING THAT SANNNA MARIN IS LOSING THE ELECTION, SHE WAS SUCH AN INSPIRING YOUNG LEADER!!! BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I GUESS IT SHOWS THAT FINNS ARE GETTING TIRED OF HER PARTY'S SPENDING HABITS AND THE OPPOSITION PARTIES HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF PROMISING CHANGE! PETTERI ORPO SEEMS LIKE A DECENT CHAP, LET'S SEE HOW HE DOES AS PM

So Finland's election is over and Sanna Marin isn't winning ... I mean, 200 seats out of 200 can be tough to beat, but still, it's not like she got crushed or anything . Marin's gotta give credit where credit is due tho, her party did gain some seats which is a big deal. But, at the same time, 48 seats just isn't enough to form a government, so it's all about who you team up with now . The NCP leader, Orpo, sounds like he knows what he's doing, promise to fix Finland and curb spending... but, how hard can that be, right? . Anyways, gotta see how this whole thing plays out in the coming months

So Sanna Marin is out . I think this is a huge deal for Finland's politics . It shows that even the young, progressive leaders can't win an election without making some tough decisions about their party's spending . The opposition parties have been trying to sell this "austerity" and "fiscal responsibility" thing, but I'm not convinced it's just a clever ploy to get votes from voters who are worried about the economy . Marin may be out, but her Social Democrats could still come back swinging if they figure out how to balance their commitment to social welfare with being more responsible with taxpayers' money . And what's really interesting is how the Finns Party's "openly racist" label affects voter perceptions - do people actually care about that stuff or are they just scared of change?
