4. Results will start trickling in very soon, but don't be defeated. If you haven't already voted I plead you - please go vote. Even more important than who you vote for is that you do. Democracy and real representation starts close to home. Local decision makers matter. Vote, for a better tomorrow.

3. Start close to home. Start from yourself. From your family, friends, your neighbourhood, then your village, city or municipality. Your health centre, hospital, social services office and local rescue teams.
Today is the last and official voting day in the Finnish local and welfare area elections.

2. So trust me, I know it's hard to keep our eyes and hearts open.
But nothing is more important than holding on to our hope and faith, believe that a better world is possible, that any change towards it no matter how small is worth fighting and celebration.

Tbh I also used to be a staunch supporter, SDP was my party too, one that I kind of inherited. But this light version of leftism with reduced solidarity and now 50% more compromise with the right to guarantee better chances at government seats - no thanks, I like my party with some spine

I'm glad for everyone celebrating having survived into another spring again, truly I am. But I'm also very, very scared that this is now our reality and it's just accepted, even celebrated. 4/4
