The restraints on dogma created by the Nordic political coalitions force political leadership into a purely management role - which is the only role they should have.

Re: Fünfparteiensystem (4.00 / 2)

Much of the problems of the current Finnish government can be reduced to certain elements thereof being way too dogmatic about things.
Also, the high number of dimwit assholes in the government.

Hi NordicStorm! Incidentally, do you have any politicised Finnish friends you could ask to translate Stop Blair! into Finnish? It's the second largest of the four still missing of the 23 official EU languages.

I forgot Maltese and Slovenian in my e-mail: we have 6 missing.

Re: Fünfparteiensystem (4.00 / 2)

I've been asking around discretely, but no luck so far (is being pro-EU and anti-Blair really such a strange combination? Oh well). That said, if I have some time this weekend I'll try my hands on a translation. With a little help from a fluent finnophone I should be able to get it within the vicinity of correctness.

I know a guy who knows some guys who speak Finnish. But I don't know whether they'll be willing to proofread. I could ask, though, if you need a proofreader.
