Meh. Haavisto has better experience and less fuckups but money works in campaigns. Anyway it was two right-wingers in the second round so

In what sense is Haavisto right-wing? Also, compared to most global leaders, Stubb is not very far right. Luckily all the far right lunatics fell out in the first round.

But yeah, I agree Haavisto would have been the better choice, although both of them are very competent for the role.

By the easiest definition, Haavisto is still a capitalist

A centrist, europhile, pro-immigration, pro-multiculturalism, former patron of Helsinki's Pride event, vs the literal Green League candidate.

Yes. They’re definitely not the worst of the worst
