pääontelokunnissa

Pääontelokunnissa, also known as the Finnish Parliament, is the legislative body of Finland. It is a unicameral parliament, consisting 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, which is also the seat of the Finnish government.

The Parliament is composed of several committees, known as pääontelokunnissa, which are responsible for examining and discussing proposed legislation, as well as other matters of public interest. These committees are chaired by MPs and are composed of members from various political parties. The work of the committees is crucial in the legislative process, as they provide detailed scrutiny and debate on proposed laws before they are brought to a vote in the full Parliament.

The Parliament is headed by a Speaker, who is elected by the MPs at the beginning of each parliamentary term. The Speaker presides over the sessions of the Parliament and ensures that the rules of procedure are followed. The Speaker also plays a key role in maintaining the decorum and order of the Parliament.

The Parliament is an important institution in the Finnish political system, as it represents the will of the people and ensures that the government is accountable to the citizens. It is also a forum for debate and discussion on a wide range of issues, from domestic policy to international affairs. The Parliament is committed to promoting democratic values and upholding the rule of law in Finland.
