The minister in charge of these issues is a religious homophobe and the "party" he represents is more like a loose protest coalition of confused conservatives and racists.

Our prime minister "would have liked Finland to join the initiative, but the ministers have the authority in their own cabinets". The racists have our prime minister's balls in a grip, since the government would dissolve if they got offended and decided to leave. And since the current right wing government is the only chance to crush the labour unions' power, prime minister Orpo seems to be more than willing to suffer one humiliation after another to win this prize for the corporate sector.

That's pretty sad. I thought you guys were better off than America, but it sounds like you've got it just as bad as we do. Sorry bud ._.

It's not as bad as the US. We don't have a presidential candidate openly calling for the end of democracy. It has been getting worse. But we're not there yet.

If the god they claim to believe in exists I’m pretty sure it’ll be more angry about leaving than staying
