Don't get me wrong I know there are sane, smart and talented people in the green party just like in all the others and I shouldn't judge them based on a small part of their voters but I JUST HATE THEIR GUTS!
They go on saying "all out parliament members can vote based on their conscience." (All other parties in Finland have some official stance on most matters and member either vote according to it or lose membership, some rare matters of conscience are excempt.) You know what this means? it means that all the candidates have their own personal agenda and unless the one you voted gets to the parliament then the vote you gave might go to support someone with very different agenda. It kinda defeats the purpose of having a party. Besides the party has a history of childish stunts.
But yeah, I don't really have anything against Haavisto, I just hate his political party.
As for the "separate but equal," yeah that is stupid and I think we will get rid of it some time soon. Besides when the registered-relationship is functionally same as marriage there will be one more reason for renaming it.
