Party on, PM

There has been much written about the party antics of the Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin.

The implication is that her behaviour is not befitting that of a leader of an important Western democracy. What a shallow analysis.

How incredible a prime minister is able to lead a democracy of five and a half million, stand firmly against the machinations of her aggressive neighbour, raise a child, whilst retaining the ability to enjoy the normal behaviour of a young woman, retain a sense of fun and show genuine emotions. It should be celebrated.
