I really don’t want to do this again. I mean, I do, because stories about Sanna Marin are often my biggest earners.

Also, if I don’t do this, you’re probably just going to read a lot of stories by non-Finnish and male writers about it, and there are probably going to be some really bad takes in there.

But I do wish I had no story to write. It’s degrading, and stupid.

The Party Politician

So, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is in the news again. The 37-year-old Prime Minister, also sometimes referred to as the coolest world leader, was out partying in Helsinki.

She apparently finished the night at someone’s apartment, singing and dancing with famous and semi-famous personalities from the world of entertainment and social media.

The problem is, there were videos on social media about it. Someone leaked them to the media and a filthy tabloid made a compilation, where Marin is seen partying and singing to the music. She doesn’t seem particularly drunk, at least by Finnish standards.
