Honestly though I'm pretty ok with Niinistö. With how little actual power the president has he's a great public speaker and works great as a foreign face of Finland. Could have much worse options. He's a bit bland but that's fine for the office he has.

Not only that, he tied the vote of confidence to his worker's right bill, where small companies can fire people indiscriminately. By hiding behind the parliament, they are giving the bill the aura of representative democracy - our elected best vote for our behalf.

It's a clever move, but it has the danger of being too clever for its own good. That being said, when did majority government coalitions voted against themselves in a vote of confidence? It's a sure slam dunk.

SDP is going to just get stronger as time goes on towards the elections, so it's pretty much a win for the government no matter what happens. It's a good move, if a bit scummy.

Her defence seems to be "no, you're the real racists for thinking these slides are racist!" which, jeez, really?

She's shown an incredible lack of self-awareness in both preparing that presentation, showing it to people, and then trying to defend it in public. She's more like the Old Person type racist, not the Guy with Premature Baldness and a Blog type racist, so I don't think she's orchestrating something nefarious at the Helsinki Police Department outside of automatically checking the papers of Suspiciously Brown People at staissi.

I mean just look at it, I can't take a person making spelling mistakes and using clipart on her Big Important Powerpoint seriously.

Like the thing is it's supposed to be a humorous comparison from the old days to the new, and it's a bit insensitive, who gives a poo poo. No one should care even the slightest loving bit about some presentation by some no one at some conference. The offended people brigade is just locking on easy targets, and it's just embarassing as gently caress to see this poo poo in news when there are actual serious issues shaking the underpinnings of our society happening.

Sulphagnist posted:

This feels like the sort of thing that only pundits and journalists actually give a poo poo about. It's a government bill, the Parliament will vote on it at some point anyway if it's not withdrawn.

Also do I really need to point out why that is important? Pundits and journalists, really? It's a loving political maneuver that forces the parliament and the worker's unions against eachother unless they topple the government. It's a real loving shitstorm of a situation and people definitely should care.

It's just mere posing, Sipilä wouldn't be doing this if he didn't believe that the ranks held (and if they did for Soini then they will for something that this government truly believes in). I don't think he's thought of the alternative because it would be utter chaos not brought by the opposition or even unions but the government coalition alone. Just consider the last time we had a premature election? 1975, and only because Kekkonen smashed the parliament

I agree that it's a near certainty the ranks hold, but even if they didn't it would still be a better result for the current government than the eventual election loss that is coming regardless.

Down from 12.9 to 12.0 in HS's new poll. There's probably a floor but Green voters are always pretty fickle so I can't say if it's 10 percent or 8 percent. As long as they bleed into LA and SDP it's not a huge problem, but if those people just become sleepers instead, that's not great.

The problem is that the whole narrative is now about Aalto's absence and how the Greens keep tanking in the polls, which leads to more tanking in the polls. They need to do something dramatic and quickly to change the story, but they can't and won't oust Aalto on their own.

Touko Aalto retire bitch

They can always start pitching a shitfit about that news that Finland is interested in those new small nuclear reactors. Guaranteed to drive people who get all their information from iltalehti insane. The Green garbage stance on nuclear power is why I haven't voted for them since '99, even though it would otherwise be a pretty decent option sometimes.

The current Green poliittinen tavoiteohjelma from this spring has precisely this on nuclear power:

"Ilmastonmuutoksen torjumiseksi Vihreät suhtautuu avoimesti kaikkeen vähäpäästöisen ja ympäristöystävällisen teknologian tutkimukseen ja kehittämiseen. Viimeisimmät Suomessa tehdyt ydinvoimahankkeet ovat olleet hitaita ja ongelmallisia. Sellaisia emme halua lisää."

and here's their parties official tavoiteohjelma in 2012 on nuclear:
" Kannatamme ydinvoimasta luopumista niin pian kuin mahdollista. Ydinvoimasta luopuminen ei kuitenkaan saa lisätä hiilidioksidipäästöjä."

this leads me to wonder: just what political party you support? I mean, if this is garbage stance, you probably should vote for "more nuclear projects but instead of what happens in reality let's hope for silver bullet solutions " or maybe alternatively "more nuclear projects, precisely like OL3 and Fennovoima because they are somehow cool"

but do carry on, my "Green Concern Troll" bingo chart is filling up fast

LA is my go to party. Their official stance on nuclear power is not that different from the greenie weenies, but there's a fairly significant pro-nuclear group in there and they're allowed to vote whatever they want in parliament. That's a ton better in my books. YMMV.

I wasn't concern trolling. I simply stated that I voted for them when I was young, and I no longer do, and why that is. They're still one of the better options out there, just not the one for me.

That article is some hilarious bullshit. No one outside academia is ever going to give the slightest care about some small trade benefits 150 years before we were even able to take a poo poo without Sweden or Russia saying so. Most people don't even care about the Sami and we've actually actively hosed them over in very recent history, and in some cases still continue doing so. Some incredible-rear end reaching there.

Syyn asiallisuutta ja painavuutta arvioitaessa on kokonaisarvioinnissa otettava huomioon työnantajan palveluksessa olevien työntekijöiden lukumäärä sekä työnantajan ja työntekijän olosuhteet kokonaisuudessaan.

What does it mean in practise? How should courts evaluate this? :iiam:

The thing is the paragraph as a whole is completely distanced from the last sentence. The new wording should mean absolutely nothing at all in my opinion. The entirety of the preceding sentences are things only in reference to the employee and his/her ability to do their job. The last sentence adds a thing about the number of employees which does not in any way mean anything in the same context. I'm not a lawyer though.

In essence though "This person is not able to/will not do their job as necessary because XXX."

"Oh yeah also because we have Y employees that changes things somehow."

It makes absolutely no sense in any context.

Yeah it isn't really comparable, but people who weren't a part of the elite probably had almost no idea what went on even nearby outside of finlandtheir village and/or the nearest town, and definitely weren't making business decisions about overseas trade.

e: Then again the time period in the article in the mid 1700s was a time when Finland was splintered into sections controlled by Russia and Sweden. In the Russian section of the lands the role and rights of the peasants degraded into something almost like slavery (forced to farm for the landowner, the landowner could punish them without interference from the law, etc.). I'm assuming the factory mentioned was in the Swedish part of Finland though.
