All the parties who make up the government happens to be run by women, four of them are under 35 years old.

    I love the Scandinavian countries. They do so much right.

    I love that women and young people earn positions there....but, I don't think 80% of the power seats at the table (if that is what those are, I don't know a thing about Finnish Govt...just making an assumption based on the post) being held by 32-34 year olds is the way to go.

    I do think my own country must have younger representation, but 4 out of 5 being that young skews the thinking.  (Just as 7 or 8 out of 10 US politicians being that old/one foot in the grave skews the thinking here.)

    Interesting, nonetheless, and I am interested to learn more about their system and how this came to be.

    It's also the home country of Kimi Raikonnen.  You don't get much more awesome than that.

    I often think it'd be cool to live in one of the Scandinavian countries. Norway or Finland in particular.

    Sounds like a bunch of socialist feminist tree hugging commie pinkos to me.

    Your post reeks of sexism.
