* Sanna Marin became the world's youngest prime minister in 2019 at age 34
* But her Social Democrats party is headed for defeat by two conservative parties
Finland's 'Party Prime Minister' Sanna Marin has lost lost her bid for a second term - as a right-wing coalition claims victory over her Social Democrats in an extremely tight general election.
Marin, who made global headlines after she was seen dancing wildly in leaked videos, became the world's youngest prime minister in 2019 at age 34 and had been fighting for a second term just days before Finland's historic accession to the NATO defence alliance.
But her party has lost out to two conservative parties in an extremely tight three-way race for control of parliament.

WNU Editor: Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin 's party was re-soundly defeated in this election, and only days before Finland is to be formally accepted by NATO. Her defeat also continues the Zelensky curse. The EU political leaders who support Ukraine President Zelensky seem to have a history of getting defeated in the next election.

The most powerful force on the planet.
I am not a crackpot.
Well I do not follow Finish politics. What were the reasons she was defeated? Economy, social, Foreign policy?
You're known.
Good, stop over for a cup of tea. :)
Whatever happened to the "Far Left"? Maybe they're considered Moderate now. Seems issues that just 30 years ago were quite mainstream (and are still shared by AT LEAST large minorities) are now associated with Far Right. Are (legitimate) concerns about border security Far Right? Seems the leftist media have painted them so. Given their politics at the time, both JFK and RFK today might well be considered Far Right. Yes, times change as do political views. But it's more than that today. If you're not in step with the liberal status quo, you're either painted as Far Right or, in some cases, cancelled.
EDIT to add: Don't know much about Finnish politics, so maybe what they call Far Right IS that. I was just thinking in general about how these labels are often applied today.

Russia is a c*rse, a p0x on the world
If the WNU editor was a decent blogger we'd have found out, but he wants us to think she got defeated simply due to her support of Zelensky.
oh nos! your fwee speech!
The shift from left to right has been happening for a while now. This defeat is just another part if that. It will also continue.
There was the party scandal a year ago. Perfectly normal and legal, but bad optics.
The optics were a nothing burger, if the economy is good. Or if you have a strong Ministry of Truth ground game like in the US.
