Mats Uotila claimed that the justifications presented to the Italian press were noble, but in his opinion, Sanna Marin had left politics immediately after the lost parliamentary elections. According to Uotila, Marin betrayed her voters because Finns did not want her to continue as prime minister, and the role of a regular member of parliament was not acceptable to her. https://t.co/Z2Nxz4yHBE #poliikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)
Jarno Limnell assessed that Volodymyr Zelensky made a strategically skillful move by suggesting that Ukraine hold elections if Vladimir Putin agreed to a 60-day ceasefire. According to Limnell, Zelensky linked Ukraine's internal political issue to Russia's military decision and brought the matter to Donald Trump's attention. He believed the ball was in Moscow's court, where, according to him, there was no genuine desire for peace. #Ukraina #Zelenskyi #Venäjä (translated)
The writer suspected that elections would be held in Finland during a state of war. He wrote that afterwards democracy would prevail and anyone could run for office. Additionally, he shared a link to an article from an Italian newspaper, which according to its title stated that Sanna Marin could run for office if Russia were to attack Finland. https://t.co/3UdYODDZqi #Suomi #demokratia #vaalit #FI #RU (translated)
Henri Vanhanen wrote that Volodymyr Zelensky was ready to hold elections in Ukraine if Vladimir Putin agreed to a 60-day ceasefire. Vanhanen noted that this was not a new concession, as Zelensky had made the same proposal in February and required sufficient security guarantees to hold the elections. Vanhanen interpreted the proposal as a message to Donald Trump, who, in his view, had repeatedly questioned Zelensky’s position and called for elections in Ukraine. According to Vanhanen, holding elections would require the United States to get Russia to stop hostilities for a sufficient period. He found it contradictory that Ukraine was being asked to hold elections in the midst of an invasion, while Russia had not agreed to a ceasefire that would allow for it. Vanhanen also pondered how strong Trump’s pressure on Zelensky had become, referring to Trump’s recent statements regarding Ukrainian leadership. He believed that the replacement of the Ukrainian president should not become a substantive goal of peace negotiations, but rather that Ukrainians should choose their own leader. According to Vanhanen, Trump should have used his influence to promote a ceasefire rather than forcing Ukraine to defend the legitimacy of its democracy. #Ukraina #Zelenskyi #Trump (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that his party was in third place and the support for the PS had increased. According to him, the party's support would not grow unless its chairman announced that the National Coalition Party would not join a blue-red government. Fjäder mentioned that the discussion was heated about whether the National Coalition Party would join a blue-red government instead of a right-center government, and estimated that this would undermine the party's support. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/FI3ByOSP3i #vaalit #politiikka #puolueet (translated)
Mr. Spede wrote that the Greens had had to resort to the help of a man because, according to him, the aggression he described as sharp and distasteful was driving away voters who had manners or sense. He estimated that Niinistö would drive the remaining voters elsewhere. https://t.co/w7XV5opzeu #Politiikka #Suomi #Vaalit (translated)
Niko A. Kauko pondered what would happen to the EU-Finland's support for Ukraine and the cooperation agreements between the countries if Ukraine were to hold elections, choose a new president, and the war were to end. He estimated that with a change in presidency, relations between Ukraine and Russia could also improve. Kauko asked whether Finland's support for Ukraine had ultimately been directed more towards Zelensky and the war than towards Ukraine itself. He referred to Stubbs' statement that the war was "his war," and wondered if Finland's "unwavering Ukraine first" line would fade as the war receded. Kauko described the war fundamentally as a great power conflict and believed that neither side had clean hands. According to him, Finland should not have participated in the conflict other than through diplomacy and mediation. He considered such an approach wise, which, in his assessment, was no longer visible in Finland's stance. #Ukraina #EU #sota (translated)
Amos Ahola wrote that the Kokoomus party's failure to reform the YEL during its term was a sufficient reason for every entrepreneur not to vote for the party ever again. He described the party's performance as substandard. #yrittäjyys #vaalit2023 #Kokoomus (translated)
According to the author, the members of the National Coalition Party hoped that their group would leave the government and planned a campaign against the Finns Party. He said that Lindtman had stated that he would not join the government with the Finns Party at any price, but that Lindtman had not agreed to disclose whether the Social Democrats had visited. #politiikka #Suomi #vaalit #FI (translated)
Hannu Järvinen wrote that Lindtman repeated that the SDP and the Finns Party could not be in the same government after the elections under any circumstances. Järvinen added that he considered it desirable and good for Finland that the SDP would not be in any government. https://t.co/9uw0qShUut #Suomi #politiikka #vaalit (translated)
Sture Fjäder described the speeches of the chairperson of the SDP as arrogant boasting. According to him, the Centre Party could not enter a government like that of 2019 with its current support, as it would be suicide for the party. Fjäder also assessed that the third-place National Coalition Party could not join a blue-red government, as its support would further decline. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/BkIrQe5Sot #vaalit #politiikka #Suomi (translated)
Harri Lehtimäki wrote that Sirpa Pietikäinen (National Coalition Party) and all others belonging to the green-left voted against. He used a derogatory term for the latter group. https://t.co/fg0WREhEwd #politiikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)
Otto Juote wrote that, in his opinion, the YEL reform would not improve the situation for entrepreneurs during the current government term. He justified his view by saying that the law would not come into effect until 2028 and that it would not apply to any entrepreneur before the parliamentary elections in spring 2027. Juote argued that the timeline was politically intentional: according to him, the National Coalition Party could present itself as the initiator of the reform before the elections while avoiding responsibility for the consequences, which would only begin in the next term. He suspected that a blue-red government formed after the elections could annul or postpone the reform and anticipated that the SDP would demand its cancellation. Juote noted that no invoices based on the new model had yet been sent, nor had implementation decisions been made. According to him, the new parliament could repeal the law or postpone its entry into force with a simple legislative amendment, allowing the practices of the 2023 model to continue. He also questioned the information systems as an official basis for a delay extending to 2028 and assessed that the postponement would give the National Coalition Party the opportunity to leave the implementation of the reform to the next government. Juote claimed that the National Coalition Party did not want to reform YEL during any government term. #YEL #politiikka #uudistus (translated)

According to Lucia-pulla, Purra had survived heavy work, scandals, defamation, and witch hunts. She thanked Purra for her work so far and expressed her support for her to continue. #vaalit #poliikka #suomi (translated)
Sture Fjäder praised Ulla and wrote that the National Coalition members did not listen to Kirsi Pih, who, according to him, had been working on Pekka Haavisto's presidential campaign, even though Alexander Stubb was available. Fjäder said there was a clear center-right majority in Parliament and assessed that after the elections, a center-right, non-socialist government would be formed. #vaalit #vaalit #politiikka #suomi (translated)
Roni Arvonen criticized Elina's handling of the election sabotage and deemed it substandard. He argued that the bar had been lowered in every possible way and urged every member of the Turku Alliance to be ashamed. #politiikka #Turku #vaalit (translated)
Sture Fjäder urged the National Coalition Party to look in the mirror and wrote that the Finns Party was not responsible for the party's poor performance. According to him, the reasons were the scandals of 2026, maneuvering, and pushing things through, which were in conflict with the National Coalition Party's strict economic policy line and weakened the party's credibility. #kokoomus https://t.co/VYkdlr8VNh #politiikka #suomi #vaalit (translated)
Eija-Riitta Korhola-Dunderfelt wrote in her response to Suvi-Anne Siimes that she was completely of the opposite opinion on the matter. According to her, the undeniable trademark of the National Coalition Party had been home, religion, and fatherland, but one important voter group no longer saw this line in the party. At the same time, she assessed that the Finns Party had become a more credible alternative. #politiikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)
