Quote
Estonia’s two biggest political parties clinched a deal on Sunday to form a new government to be led by a female prime minister for the first time in the Baltic country’s history, replacing the previous Cabinet that collapsed into a corruption scandal earlier this month.

The party councils of the the opposition, center-right Reform Party and the ruling. left-leaning Center Party voted in favor of joining a Cabinet headed by Reform’s prime minister-designate and chairwoman Kaja Kallas.

Both parties are set to have seven ministerial portfolios in addition to Kallas’ prime minister post in the 15-member government, which would muster a majority at the 101-seat Riigikogu Parliament.

A bit behind the other two Baltic countries, then.

Are they still persisting with libertarian nonsense like flat taxes?

Right now, it's the only parliamentary republic worldwide where both the President and the head of government are female.

Perhaps more important is that the far right is now out of government in Estonia.

I mean...lolbertarian economics sometimes has merits, is Estonia in a position where they desperately need more international investment/attention from businesses?

I bash yellow avatars only because they ascribe to the idea of trickle down no matter what, all other options be screwed.

Indeed. They seem to want to be like Finland(their linguistic cousin) ideally.
