I've always wondered what the deal was with NC's angry outbursts about "constitution fundamentalists" ruining things, and this analysis from Yle finally explains the background. It wasn't until 1989 that Finland accepted the European human rights declaration, and with that the legislative focus was shifted from a general singular chapter-in-law to a more holistical constitutional approach. Not everyone was pleased by this, and there are schools of thought among the law academia who think this talk of fundamental rights has gone too far, Ben Zyskowicz (NC) being the most vocal. Indeed, this focus on rights has in turn proved to be problematic to legislative bodies, who have had to painstakingly tried to fit new bills with the constitution, especially in these Corona times. Although it might be that the politicians themselves might be the real problem, since some parties are accused of selectively raising only certain rights to the fore and not just the totality of rights, ie. restaurants having the right to do business.

Long story short, it's pragmatistic vs. idealistic approaches to law.

I gained some new appreciation for Ryti after reading the Väinö Tanner biography that was published couple of years ago.

Ryti really got a raw deal and Kekkonen was an amoral rear end in a top hat with absolutely no scruples or principles. Ryti got the last laugh in a way though, as apparently several of of the speakers in his funeral indirectly and implicitly roasted Kekkonen, who was sitting in the front row, for his actions as the minister of justice during the war guilt trials.

Long story short, it's pragmatistic vs. idealistic approaches to law.

I would describe it so that there are times where the ideals you stand for oppose each other in practice. Like freedom of moving and assembling as opposed to protecting our fellow lives during a pandemic. You have to prioritise the ideals. Then people reach different conclusions due to different things being important to them (for example, you can't get a pub troll to care for other people if he doesn't even care for what happens to him), and then you will always have this dance where some say you're stomping on basic rights while you're only doing something that essentially needs to be done.

Of course cock is the royalty succession party so any basic rights types of ideas aren't so popular.

Anyway about constitution. Sometimes initiatives are also criticised based on yhdenvertaisuuslaki in that it will hurt/benefit some segment of the population more than another. Like if a certain type of crime is on the rise one argument against increasing penalties could be that a certain ethnicity would be more prevalent in those who it would affect. Or pay cuts to a profession are protested through claiming it would hit one gender more than the other. While I'm sure every sane person would agree that we should raise the salaries of kindergarten teachers and that we should probably avoid the trap of having our police beating up foreigners, one has to realise that the argument is quite hollow in the end and leads to total paralysis.

There are plenty of good arguments available so using this one is just really dishonest. If we really lived through such a rule, we couldn't lower the salaries of top executives because that would mean men would be hit more by it. Or we could but then it would be just arbitrary as to when this equality rule is applied. Even if we always strived for some imaginary middle line towards which all decisions we should nudge ourselves, we would essentially be trying to box nature and human experience to some standard that cannot exist.

What I'm trying to say is that we should hold the constitution as more of a guideline than some piece of religious literature you can go absolutely fundamental on. It is literally impossible to follow it all the time and our society would be healthier if we were honest about it. Saying that there are no fundamentalists around this topic would be like saying there are no bible fundamentalists among us. Denying it won't do us any good.

Also our politicians decide how to interpret the constitution so we should drop the pretense that it's all very neutral aspect of lawmaking. Of course after a law has passed, a case can go to court and then the supreme court decides that the law they made didn't actually hold water, but that's a long way and sometimes it never happens. I would be open for alternative ideas for dealing with this issue so we're not so dependent on just having a sane majority in some cabinet. Luck can be treacherous.

So the The Finns of Southern Savolax are in disarray and this article is just :kiss:, my favourite bit is that they just can't write proper Finnish statements

quote:

Ano Turtiaisen ympärille kietoutuu myös Pieksämäen paikallisyhdistyksen hajaannus.

Tammikuussa 2020 Iltalehti uutisoi, että Turtiainen oli laskuttanut kilometrikorvauksia eniten kaikista kansanedustajista.

22 pieksämäkeläistä perussuomalaista lähetti piirihallituksen puheenjohtajalle tiedoksiannon, jossa he kertoivat paheksuvansa Turtiaisen toimintaa. Salaiseksi tarkoitettu tieto vuosi kuitenkin omaan paikallisyhdistykseen.

Paperin epäonnistunut muotoilu johti kaikkien allekirjoittaneiden erottamiseen.

Tiedoksianto kuuluu sanatarkasti näin: "Me allekirjoittaneet Pieksämäen perussuomalaisten paikallisyhdistyksen jäsenet irtisanoudumme ja paheksumme Ano Turtiaisen toimintaa hänen käyttäessään hyväkseen asemassaan kansanedustajana nostaessaan matkakorvauksia laittomin perustein."

Tarkoitus oli sanoa, että allekirjoittaneet haluavat irtisanoutua Ano Turtiaisen toiminnasta. Piirin palkkaama lakimies tulkitsi paperia sana sanasta ja allekirjoittaneille myönnettiin ero yhdistyksestä.

I mean just look at that quoted sentence. Presumably multiple people read that statement before it was released and didn't ask for revisions.

quote:

Kannatusmittauksen Ylelle tehneen Taloustutkimuksen tutkimusjohtaja Tuomo Turja arvioi, että koronatoimien ympärillä näkyvä keskustelu voi vaikuttaa myös kuntavaalikannatukseen.

– Tässä mitataan kuntavaalikannatusta, mutta vaalikampanjat eivät ole päässeet käyntiin ja vaaleja on siirretty. Tässä voi näkyä enemmän yleinen poliittinen keskustelu, mitä viime aikoina on käyty, Turja sanoo.

Kokoomuksen kuntavaalimenestykselle kohentunut kannatus lupaa hyvää. Suurimman kuntapuolueen paikkaa jälleen tavoitteleva kokoomus voi luottaa äänestäjiinsä perussuomalaisia enemmän.

– Kokoomuksella on hyvä tilanne siinä, että puolueella on uskolliset äänestäjät. Kokoomus voi luottaa siihen, että kannatusmittauksessa mitatut tulokset myös toteutuvat vaaleissa. Perussuomalaisilla on tässä suhteessa enemmän haasteita, Turja sanoo.

[...]

Taloustutkimuksen Turja arvioi, että vihreät on vienyt kannatusta vasemmistoliitolta, jonka kannatus on laskenut. Vasemmistoliiton kannatuksessa helmikuun aikana näkynyt pomppu on maaliskuun aikana kadonnut.

– Vasemmistoliitto on menettänyt kannattajia erityisesti naisissa, nuorissa ja Etelä-Suomessa asuvien joukossa. Vihreät on saanut kannattajia samoissa ryhmissä, Turja sanoo.

If this is actually a kuntavaalikannatusmittaus, then the PS number is ridiculous. But as the pollster says, the elections are happening, maybe???, not so immediately so maybe no one just cares about the distinction :shrug:
