PPElaisten

PPElaisten, also known as the Finnish Parliament, is the unicameral legislature of Finland. It is composed of 200 members, known as Members of Parliament (MPs), who are elected by universal suffrage for a term of four years. The Parliament is responsible for making laws, approving the national budget, and overseeing the government. It meets in the Parliament House in Helsinki.

The Finnish Parliament was established in 1907, following Finland's independence from Russia. It has a long history of democratic representation and has played a crucial role in shaping Finnish society and politics. The Parliament operates on the principle of parliamentary democracy, where the government is responsible to the Parliament and can be removed from office by a vote of no confidence.

The Parliament is divided into several committees, each responsible for a specific area of legislation. These committees review and discuss proposed laws before they are brought to a vote in the Plenary. The Parliament also has the power to appoint the Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials.

The Finnish Parliament is known for its high level of public participation and transparency. MPs are required to disclose their financial interests and are subject to regular elections. The Parliament also has a strong tradition of bipartisanship, with MPs from different political parties often working together to achieve common goals.
