The Finns Party leadership election will take place on 14 August, with the main candidates being the MPs Riikka Purra and Sakari Puisto. Purra is favoured to win.

Purra wins with 64% of votes.

The National Coalition Party is now the only major party never to have had a female leader.

any contenders for that role currently in the ncp?

There was a school shooting today in Vantaa, Finland. A 12-year-old student shot three classmates of the same age, killing one and seriously injuring two. The gun was registered to a family member of the shooter. Police described the act as premeditated.

Nevertheless, the shooter will not be charged with anything and will not spend a single day behind bars. This is because the Finnish law states that no one under the age of 15 is criminally culpable for their actions. I have long considered that absurd, and this case just underlines that. A 12-year-old is not a toddler. A 12-year-old knows what murder is and what happens when you shoot someone. Sweden's law is the same in this regard, and there criminal gangs actively recruit children under 15 for this very reason.

The shooter will probably be taken into custody of social workers and moved into another school with a new name. Everyone who knows his identity will be forced to keep quiet. And then we'll just wait to see if he does it again.

any proposal to change this?
