Of course they do. They are smart people!
Of course it does, I had no doubt!
The country is really educated and smart and Sanna the same and with the heart in the right place.
It’s a ways off practically speaking tho, will take at least months to years iirc
She will be the PM for 1 more week. I can’t wait for the change of government a day longer! 😊👌
It’s her last weeks as a PM so she’s making loud populist statements (for some reason internationally). Wouldn’t make much out of it
