Finland's Next President
I do not know who to vote for so I ask for your opinion. Here is a list of the candidates:
2. Bjarne Kallis (Christian Democratic Party)
This Master of Political Science started politics in RKP, Swedish People's Party, before a religious revival. Kallis has worked hard to improve Christian Democratic Party as a chairman. At first he took up a negative attitude towards candidature, but after lots of appeal he agreed. His themes include Christian set of values, safety and responsibility both nationally and internationally. Bjarne Kallis thinks a membership of NATO is not yet of present interest. He fefutes gay marriages but allows ordination of women. Bjarne Kallis is against companies maximizing profits by help of notices to quit.
3. Sauli Niinistö (the Coalition Party)
This survivor of Tsunami has worked as Master of Laws, Senior Secretary Court of Appeal, Minister of Justice, seven years as Minister of Finance and even as a vice president of Europe's Investment Bank. In Niinistö's opinion Finland is at a "dangerous state of rest" and our government should not be content with the present but accept challenges. He finds the current security politics bouncing: Finland should keep the NATO card open and neutral. Sauli Niinistö proclaims himself 'a president of workpeople'. One of his slogans is 'The time of antithesis is over.': employees, employers, unemployed, students as well as pensioners are all Finnish working people.
4. Timo Soini (Basic Finns)
A populist converted to Catholicisim. He feels the voice of people is a voice of God. Timo Soini says EU is 'a dying mammoth' and Finland should leave it. In his opinion Norway and Switzerland, who are not in the EU, are more like Finland's company on the international level. Soini underlines Finland's own defensive forces and does not see NATO necessary. He thinks president should be strong, not a mascot nor a Master of Ceremonies.
5. Heidi Hautala (the Greens)
This Master of Agriculture and Forestry Science has a career as a member of the European parliament. She demands political sincerity with people able to influence straight and to control the wage of power. All documents should be public. Heidi hautala wants to challenge the others to think about controlling the Globalization. Rather than NATO, Hautala depends on EU and UN when it comes to international security. Hautala criticizes Security Police, the state governed by law and the relationship with Russia. A quote from her webpage: 'After the terrorist attacks of 11th of September 2001, however, security has more and more often become for a state an excuse to limit people's rights and offend human rights.'.
6. Henrik Lax (Swedish People's Party)
A lawyer whose biggest achievement has been the language law, which provides minorities with rights to have services in their own languages. Also Lax has gained experience as a member of the European Parliament. At the personal level he is a liberal, but when it comes to economics he sides with enterprises. Henrik Lax allows the registration of gay marriages and openly supports Finland's membership in NATO. He defends employer's rights. Lax declares Finland's neighbours Norway, Sweden, Russia and Estonia more important than places such as Silicon Valley, brussels and Shanghai.
7. Matti Vanhanen (the Centre Party)
An opponent of nuclear power and concrete development. Was an opponent of EU, too, but now is known as an EU specialist. Vanhanen believes compilsory planning as a cure for the lack of sites. He andvanced from a Minister of Defence to the Prime Minister after Anneli Jäätteenmäki, Finland's first and only female Preme Minister, had to quit. Matti Vanhanen does not see NATO as topical and prefers a referendum. He takes a task to reform our country for the sake of a changing global wolrd. As far as ethics are concerned, he is a liberal.
8. Arto Lahti (politically independet)
Arto Lahti collected a list of 20000 names to become a candidate. This Doctor of Economic Sciences is well versed in industrial life and enterpreneurship. He proclaims individual and entrerprisers' rights and principles of classic Liberalism. Lahti is worried about the present economic situation and sees signs of threatening depression. He wants Russia to return Karjala to Finland, an area my country lost in World War II. Lahti counts it would bring 200000 new vacancies for Finland and a lift of profile for Russia. NATO lahti does doubt and so he supports a referendum.
9. Tarja Halonen (Social Democratic Party/Left-Wind Party)
The present president of Finland. This Master of Sciences of Justice is directed towards equality questions and minorities' rights. She has been a Minister of Health and Security, a Minister of Justice and a Foreign Minister. As a president she has interfered in questions about human rights, problems and oppoturnities of the Globalization. Both Halonen's presidency and campaign have dealt with UN. She does not completely deny NATO but finds it untopical.
