Mister president and his husband ♥

So I'm breaking my own rule again and talking about politics (I kind of decided when I started this blog that I would try to avoid politics, but oh well)... this is a subject that some people don't find that interesting, but I find if important to write about this.

There is a presidential election going on in Finland. The candidates:
- Pekka Haavisto (liberal, green league-party, gay, living in civil union with his husband, diplomat)
- Timo Soini (very conservative, against immigration and gay rights, true finns-party (leader), married)
- Paavo Väyrynen (rather conservative, centre-party, married)
- Paavo Lipponen (liberal, social democratic party, married, former prime minister)
- Sauli Niinistö (national coalition party, married)
- Sari Essayah (very conservative, christian democrat party, married)
- Eva Biaudet (Swedish people's party(swedish is the second language of Finland), married)
- Paavo Arhinmäki (liberal, left alliance-party, just married (a few days ago)

Sauli Niinistö is probably going to win, because he's a known politician and he doesn't "piss people off", he's kind of neutral. I wish Pekka Haavisto would win, he would be a perfect president, but there are so many homophobes still in Finland who say that they "would vote for him if he weren't gay."
It has never bothered his work as a diplomat, even when visiting very conservative or religious countries, he does his work well and that's the main thing. ♥
I just actually wish that the candidate Timo Soini will not win, that would be freakishly scary! He's racist and homophobic, against abortion and very religious. His party, True Finns have wreaked havoc in Finland since they won the parliament election last year, the party members have said (as an exaple) that all black people would be better off dead, that Finland should turn all immigrants away, that all gays should move away from Finland and that the president should be shot.
And these people ruling the country? Oh hell no!!!

Many Finns are writing blogs and posting videos to support their candidates (and to get people to even vote!) and this is my contribution. My vote goes... well, went already, since I voted today, to Pekka Haavisto!
