eduskunnalla

The eduskunta is the parliament of Finland. It is the supreme legislative body in Finland, consisting of 200 members who are elected every four years. The eduskunta is responsible for enacting laws, approving the state budget, and overseeing the government. It also plays a role in the election of the President of the Republic and the appointment of the Prime Minister.

The current eduskunta was elected in April 2023. The largest parties are the National Coalition Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the Finns Party. The eduskunta meets in Helsinki, in the Parliament House. The Speaker of the eduskunta is the presiding officer of the parliament. The Speaker is responsible for maintaining order in the chamber, interpreting the rules of procedure, and representing the eduskunta.

The eduskunta has a number of committees that are responsible for scrutinizing legislation and government activities in specific areas. These committees include the Finance Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Social Affairs and Health Committee. Members of the eduskunta are elected from 15 multi-member constituencies. The number of seats allocated to each constituency is based on its population.

The eduskunta is a unicameral parliament, meaning it has only one chamber. This is in contrast to bicameral parliaments, which have two chambers, such as the United States Congress. The unicameral system is common in many European countries.
