Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for often choosing female journalists to incite moral panic, according to him. He interpreted Yle's analysis as showing that support for the National Coalition Party among women had dropped to 12 percent and that the Finns Party had surpassed this party. However, according to Mäkäräinen, women were not punishing the National Coalition Party for its policies but for its austerity measures, and men were supporting the state. Mäkäräinen believed that the decline in women's support was due to the impact of budget cuts on sectors predominantly employing women, such as social services, organizations, and public services. In his view, this did not make the cuts unjust, but rather highlighted their effects. He mentioned the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance, and the Centre Party as the most popular parties among women and claimed that the left proposed tax increases amounting to nine billion euros. According to Mäkäräinen, the costs of these increases would fall on men who work overtime, start businesses, and pay progressive taxes. Mäkäräinen assessed that the issue for the National Coalition Party was its attempt to soften difficult decisions, while the Finns Party spoke about the same issues more directly. He argued that men were underrepresented in the care sector and overrepresented in dangerous jobs, entrepreneurship, and at the high end of the tax revenue spectrum. In his opinion, the National Coalition Party should maintain its stance even if it lost some female support, as this could help it win over voters who support the sustainability of the state. https://t.co/DfwLyPN03s #Politiikka #NaistenOikeudet #Taloustieto (translated)

Sixten Korkman assessed in HS on October 7, 2026, that few governments had weakened services for citizens in a vulnerable position as much in a short time as this government did while seeking small immediate savings. #hallitus #sosiaalipolitiikka #kansalaistenoikeudet #FI (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)

Korson Jussi wrote that he did not want to portray the media negatively, but he viewed the Yle employees as being in a way in his service, because he had to pay for Yle's services. He noted that he did not have any say in who worked at Yle or what they did. Jussi mentioned that he did not trust Yle's correspondent in Paris to convey news objectively and truthfully, and said that he was therefore seeking his news elsewhere. #media #uutiset #luottamus (translated)

Klaus wrote that as the importance of the party, the system, his own position, and fellow representatives grew, serving the people and challenging the shortcomings of the system could fall to the background. According to him, a challenger could thus become a maintainer of the system when it was comfortable to be within it. Klaus assessed Tere as an example of how a person who sincerely criticized the system could be integrated into it. He believed that better preparation was needed for this, and the case offered lessons to new challengers of the system about the importance of caution and principle. Klaus hoped for a steadfast challenger of the system in Parliament, who could have a significant impact, but he also thanked Tere for sticking to some of his principles. #politiikka #järjestelmä #korruptio (translated)

Petra Nyqvist wrote that in her opinion one of the biggest deceptions of autumn was underway at the expense of taxpayers. She defined a no-go area as a place where authorities are unable to operate, but stated that dealing with ethnic businesses in East Helsinki and Puho did not fit this description: according to her, the service was calm and professional. Nyqvist mentioned that the special assistant to the Minister of Finance Riikka Purra had hinted that she would not dare to go to the area, and pointed out that the same person accused Finland of being anti-masculine. She described the situation as absurd. #Suomi #ItäHelsinki #verot (translated)

The author wrote that Nokia and Iceye are challenging SpaceX's Starlink. He regarded the development as excellent and believed that Europe and Finland need reliable services that are not disrupted by a billionaire's mood swings. According to him, these services are needed for both military and civilian use. https://t.co/yJVowgiRo7 #Nokia #SpaceX #satelliittiviestintä #FI #EU (translated)

Distrust leads young people to seek a Plan B. Many save or invest. Faith is also wavering in healthcare and elderly care. Private insurance is being obtained for security. "This could trigger a spiral that destroys the welfare state." This is a completely unfounded fear, where cause and effect are confused. Young people’s Plan B reduces dependence on the state, as it should in this situation. As Milton Friedman noted, tax cuts are the only effective way to force public authority into real spending discipline and efficiency. When people have more of their earned income left in their hands, it also creates room for economic growth, without which no service can function. Our welfare society will renew itself as has happened in Sweden. This development should also be seen in terms of opportunities, not threats. Young people's voluntary preparation will not destroy the welfare state but will make it viable. Forward. https://t.co/3EvGbOOTRS #Hyvinvointivaltio #Nuoret #TaloudellinenKasvu (translated)

How can anyone be so naive? After all the ugly figures and headlines? The Greens claim that almost all of the tightening measures we've implemented regarding immigration would be reversed. So, stricter requirements that an immigrant must be employed, be self-sufficient, and live respectably in Finland will be thrown in the trash. Who do they think will arrive in Finland if we cannot even require these basic things from the newcomers? Moreover, the Greens propose increasing net immigration to 40,000–45,000 newcomers every year. That would be more and faster immigration than ever in Finnish history. Every year. The Greens even propose granting more rights, services, and special treatment to those residing illegally in Finland. The most absurd is the proposal to legalize asylum seekers who arrived between 2015-2018, who, despite numerous negative decisions, still reside illegally in Finland. So, whether you received asylum or not, the Greens guarantee the right to stay here. A party that presents such ideas is likely to rise to power if the leftist parties win the elections. Finland cannot afford this. Neither in euros nor in the citizens' tolerance. The less is required from immigration, the more problems it brings along. Therefore, a strict stance on immigration is in the interest of Finland and Finns. #maahanmuutto #Suomi #politiikka (translated)

There may be something much larger happening in Russia than it appears outwardly. We are used to thinking of mobilization as an event. Putin gives a speech, a decision is announced, and reservists are called to service. The next mobilization may look completely different. Russia may gradually call men to service, decentralizing actions across the country, pressuring people to sign contracts, and sparing politically sensitive cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. There may never be a single day when we could state that a new mobilization has begun. If this does not produce enough soldiers, the situation could become even bleaker. Russia could even stage an attack on its own soil and blame it on Ukraine or NATO. The goal would not be to convince us, but rather the Russians, that the country is under attack and needs more men for the war. This is also significant for Finland. If Russia manages to mobilize hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, the issue is not just about the front in Ukraine. At the same time, it is worth watching whether Russia begins to build a new strategic reserve and fill its new units in the Leningrad military district near Finland. There is no immediate threat of attack against Finland, but right now decisions can be made that determine Russia's military power at our borders for years to come. https://t.co/zWneprVedN #Venäjä #SotilaallinenVoima #Ukraina (translated)

Suomen tasavallan perustuslaki takaa kaikille Suomeen tuleville ulkomaalaisille maksuttomat palvelut, täyshoidon ja käyttörahaa tilille. Vastineeksi Suomi ei vaadi maahanmuuttajilta yhtään mitään, vaan päin vastoin edellyttää suomalaisilta pyyteetöntä osallistumista heidän elatukseensa. Kuulostaa aivan mielenvikaiselta, mutta tämä on tilanne. Lain muuttaminen on hyvin vaikeaa, koska siihen tarvitaan eduskunnassa vähintään 2/3 määräenemmistö ja etenkin vasemmisto haluaa kouluttaa ulkomaalaisista uusia uskollisia äänestäjiä. #Suomi #maahanmuutto #perustuslaki
