The Finnish Parliament

The Finnish Parliament, called Eduskunta, is Finland's national legislative body. It has 200 members elected every four years through proportional representation. The Parliament's main roles are passing laws, approving the budget, and overseeing the government. It operates in a parliamentary democracy, where elected representatives make decisions on behalf of the citizens. The Eduskunta also plays a key role in shaping policies on welfare, security, and international relations. It meets in Helsinki, and its decisions influence all aspects of Finnish society, ensuring that government actions reflect the will of the people through their elected representatives.
