Why did Finland’s PM lose? Reporter explains the key issue voters cared about | CNN

I'm not surprised to see Finland's politics taking a right turn . All these tech advancements and whatnot can only take you so far, I suppose. When people are actually living in their own backyards, they start to care more about the little things like taxes and economic growth. Plus, who needs all that youth energy when the country's got some real issues to tackle? Marin was always a bit of a wild card for me - I mean, someone gets caught doing coke at 20, you don't exactly know what they'll be like in charge 8 years later. And now it seems like Finland's gonna take a different path altogether...

I'm low-key surprised about Sanna Marin's loss . I think Finland's parliament being polarized has been a thing for a while now . People are just getting more frustrated with the status quo, you know? The opposition party seems like they offered a fresh alternative, and Finns took it . But, on the other hand, Marin was always known for her progressive views and youthful energy . It's weird to see someone who was so ahead of their time getting voted out . Either way, Finland's politics are about to get a whole lot more interesting .

OMG , I'm literally shocked by Sanna Marin's defeat!!! I always thought she was so cool and in touch with the youth (I'm a student, lol). But I guess the public just wanted something different, like the National Coalition Party's more traditional values . It's crazy how the COVID-19 pandemic affected Finland's politics - I remember our school had to do all these lockdowns too, but at least we didn't have to deal with party scandals . The whole thing is just so unpredictable now... will it affect our education funding? We'll have to wait and see how this new government plays out

I'm low-key shocked by this news . I mean, Sanna Marin was always seen as this super progressive and youthful leader, but I guess the public just didn't connect with her party's policies on COVID-19 and economy. It's kinda sad because she had a lot of good ideas about climate change and stuff. But at the same time, I get why people would want to switch up the government if they feel it's not doing enough. The opposition party seems like a solid alternative, but we'll just have to wait and see how things play out. This is definitely an interesting development for Finland

just wondering how true CNN's Laila Harrak is about Marin's party handling covid-19 pandemic? seems kinda convenient that opposition party capitalized on public discontent over gov't response... maybe we need to dig deeper than just what a diplomat says

I'm shocked that Sanna Marin got defeated, I mean, she was so young and cool , and her party handled the pandemic pretty well, right? Wait, no... the opposition party said it didn't, and some people thought the government's response was sketchy at best. And what about that whole cocaine thing from 2017? I don't know if she used it or not, but it definitely came up in the election, right? The National Coalition Party just seemed to tap into a lot of people's concerns about the economy and taxes, but maybe they're gonna do some weird stuff with their new power that nobody saw coming . It's all kinda wild right now...
