I’m putting a lot of hope on her running the government. And saying that is the extent of our politics I’m going to go here.

I'm curious. When you* vote, do you vote for the person or the party? It seems to me from what I've heard about the parliamentary elections it's more about the party than the individual running.

*A universal you, not necessarily you specifically.

Are we nearing Grannie rules? It doesn't matter either way to me just thinking.

I'm not asking for opinion. I'm asking how the system works. For educational purposes only.

My understanding is the vote is for the party, who in turn chooses its leader.

 

[Blackrat]

The finnish process works rather curiously. We vote for the party by voting people in the party. They count how many votes each party got and assign the parliament seats. Now then, within a party their seats go to those who got most votes. It gets a little confusing as different areas of the country are counted separately. Difficult to explain.

Yeah, I don’t think talking about the processes behind politics counts as talking politics. It can easily devolve into politics but I’ll keep my nose away from there.

I guess having a chart helps to keep track of things.

@Blackrat my condoleances for your father.

 

[Aeson]

So the party gets X number of seats for Y number of votes. Then the party chooses who fill the seats, then they choose who leads the party?
