Default Re: Summarize Your National Political Views

I am more or less satisfied with the welfare state model. It works well as long as the borders remain closed from free riders and dead weight. Free-market capitalism doesn't look like it would be going away any time soon, so I think that a socialist-light (or corporatist-light system) such as the Nordic model, which is integrated into the global market economy isn't bad at all from a nationalist perspective.

As for politics, I'd prefer to move away from the heavily centralist structure and grant local autonomy and increase local democracy to a higher degree. Switzerland is a good example of what I'd like to see done. Other than that, I'd of course want to get rid of the whole "Finland for everyone attitude" and I would like the state to remain Finnish. We don't need to give up our identity in public institutions, schools, etc - public life should remain distinctly Finnish.

So as you can see, nothing too radical.
