oh man I'm surprised by this result, I thought for sure Sanna Marin would hold on to power 
. I mean, she was such a progressive leader and Finland was doing pretty well under her leadership 
. But I guess the Finns (no pun intended 
) just wanted some change of pace.I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed too, but also kinda excited to see what Petteri Orpo has in store for the country
. He's already talking about "fixing" Finland and curbing spending, which is pretty ambitious 
. But hey, it'll be interesting to see how he navigates the coalition talks and gets things done 
.I'm also a bit worried about the rise of nationalism in Finland
. The Finns Party's rhetoric on immigration and austerity policies isn't exactly inspiring confidence 
. Fingers crossed that Orpo can bring people together and find common ground 
.Anyway, it's time for Sanna Marin to pass the torch and let someone else take the reins
. I'm curious to see how she'll continue to shape politics in Finland from outside government .
They did promise some good stuff about reducing immigration and public debt, which is def something Finland needs right now, especially with this energy crisis. But, on the other hand, Petteri Orpo's party also wants to reduce immigration and cut spending, kinda like Marin's Social Democrats... isn't that a bit weird? 
Like, shouldn't they be fighting each other instead of being almost identical? 
But, I guess they're also anti-immigration and all that jazz... anyway, Marin conceded defeat so I guess it's time for a change, but idk, what's gonna happen next? 
the finns seem to value austerity over progress, not sure what's gonna happen with immigration tho 
also kinda sad that marin is stepping down when she had such big potential as a leader
