"Marin's Re-Election Bid in Finland Faces Three-Way Race"
Finland's election on Sunday is a three-way race between right-wing populists, conservatives, and Prime Minister Sanna Marin's centre-left party. The main issue during the campaign has been Finland's public debt and how the country's welfare state can be financed in the future. The right-wing populist Finns Party is seen as a major challenger to Marin's Social Democrats, with the conservative National Coalition Party also vying for victory. The Finns Party's policies on immigration set them apart from the other parties, and they have long had the strategic goal of leaving the European Union. The party that comes out on top is likely to have the first opportunity to form a government.
