Finnish parliamentary election – April 19th 2015

[Lasitten]

I am again running for the parliament on Left Alliances' list in Savo-Karjala. Savo-Karjala is a new election election district which incorporates the old North Savonia and North Karelia. The big plus for the new district is that it lowered the threshold from 14 % in North Karelia to aprox. 6% in Savo-Karjala. This means that the Greens have a real change of getting their first representive from this region. For Left Alliance this is also interesting because the current MP is stepping down and the game is really on.

A prediction by one company which makes football predictions is circulating in the local news and here you can see that NCP is really weak in this region.

I don't know where this "society is broken" -rhetoric comes from, but both the National Coalition Party and Left Alliance seems to be using it.

Here's the NCP:

"Politics are broken. Welcome to be part of the correction."

Left Alliance:

"We will fix it. Rebuilders of the welfare state."

The National Broadcasting Company YLE is going to interview every chairperson of the parliamentary parties so you can watch and read the this far ready ones from here:

Soini(Finns Party): I'm surprised more immigrants don't come to Finland

Haglund( Swedish People's Party): More immigrants, but no referendum on joining Nato yet

Arhinmäki(Left Alliance): Pro-immigration principles and anti-austerity views

Greens' Niinistö: Other parties stuck in the 70s

There's new a seat prediction from the National Broadcasting Company.

[Lasitten]

LOL, why is Kesk doing so well?

They're in the opposition and have managed to get all the frustrated and disappointed voters especially from True Finns and NCP.

[Lasitten]

National Coalition party is scaring the voters of the "greek way" in their election posters.


Finland has three possible ways. Let's go through work.

On the left:
The Greek way
subsisting

On the right:
Work

If the young people (under 18) would decide the parliament would look like this:


Especially the result looks really bad for the Social Democrats. And to be honest I am really suprised how badly Left Alliance scored. The voting was organised by Allianssi which is a national organisation of NGOs which deal with young people. There was 59403 given votes in 630 schools.

And the candidate with number 69 would be elected in every district except Lapland

VOTES:
KOK 19.16%
KESK 17.06%
VIHR 12.97%
PS 12.24%
SDP 8.67%
KD  6.49%
VAS  5.81%
RKP  4.68%
PIR 4.49%
ITSP   2.62%
SKP 2.04%
M11  1.93%
