National Coalition Party candidate Alexander Stubb is set to become Finland's next president on 1 March, beating independent candidate Pekka Haavisto, backed by a voters' association and the Green party.
In what sense is Haavisto right-wing? Also, compared to most global leaders, Stubb is not very far right. Luckily all the far right lunatics fell out in the first round.
But yeah, I agree Haavisto would have been the better choice, although both of them are very competent for the role.
Meh. Haavisto has better experience and less fuckups but money works in campaigns. Anyway it was two right-wingers in the second round so

A centrist, europhile, pro-immigration, pro-multiculturalism, former patron of Helsinki’s Pride event, vs the literal Green League candidate.
Yes. They’re definitely not the worst of the worst
