Watching live videos from the counting is very fun and frustrating at the same time.  As a person who works with data and databases on a daily basis, it's so frustrating watching people struggle organizing so little of information.

Looks like the party's over for Sanna Marin. Probably needed more of those party clips after all

She came across as very relatable and quite genuine (at least to me). It was nice to have youthful, progressive leader on the world stage. 
 

It looks like pretty damn close battle to form a government for either of the three major parties.

Not for the first time a politician popular on the international scene stumbles when faced with some less than flashy real-life problems. Given Finland's NATO U-turn, alleged economy problems (nobody wants to hear about the COVID excuses anymore) and obviously the next chapter of Russian imperial wars it's not that surprising the Finnish society voted for someone else tbh.
