Finland's 2023 General Elections: Tight Race and Debt Anxiety.

Finland heads to the polls to elect a new government as it prepares to join NATO, with the Social Democratic Party, led by Prime Minister Sanna Marin, starting the membership process last year. The latest opinion poll shows the National Coalition, Social Democrats and Finns Party neck and neck. Joining NATO is something all parties agree on, with 76% of Finns in favour of it. The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing security concerns with Russia, inflation, climate change, and immigration are among the main issues concerning voters.
