The Nordic country of Finland recently held its parliamentary election, which saw the right-wing National Coalition Party (NCP) claim victory. The pro-business NCP is expected to win 48 out of the 200 seats in parliament, marking a significant shift away from the current government's far-left policies.
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who was one of the youngest leaders on the global stage today, faced criticism during her tenure for being a "far-left narcissist and national disaster." Marin's leadership was further called into question when videos of her partying with celebrity friends were leaked online. In response to accusations that she may have been under the influence of drugs during these events, Marin was urged to take a drug test. However, she has since defended herself and insisted that she was not on drugs when the videos were taken.
The results of this election indicate that Scandinavian countries are moving away from socialist policies and towards more conservative values. As another "crazy leftist" is dethroned tonight with NCP's victory in Finland's parliamentary election, it remains to be seen how this shift will impact not only Finland but also other nations in Scandinavia.
