In the The Past is a Future Country: The Coming Conservative Demographic Revolution, a book I wrote with J.O.A. Rayner-Hilles, we analyzed U.S. General Social Survey Data and predicted that Leftist women politicians will become increasingly stupid. Well, that’s happening. Two examples: Finland’s former prime minister, Sanna Marin, and Angela Rayner [Tweet her] deputy leader of Britain’s Labour Party.
Marin hit the international headlines recently with the announcement, which shocked nobody in Finland, that she and her husband were divorcing after only a few years of marriage [Finland’s party-loving PM Sanna Marin, 37, announces she is divorcing her husband after 19 years together, By Rachel Bunyan, Mail Online, May 10, 2023]. She hit the headlines before that with the new HBO fly-on-the-wall documentary, First Five, which follows the five women party leaders who ran Finland’s outgoing left-wing coalition [HBO Max Follows Finland’s Historic Female Cabinet for Documentary Series ‘First Five’ (EXCLUSIVE), By Manori Ravindren, Variety, April 20, 2023].
The notorious party-loving young PM, who became head of Finland’s Millennial women-led coalition government in 2019, had been with Markus Raikkonen since she was 18. They have a 6-year-old daughter. But last August 6, as I reported at the time, she did something incredibly stupid. She allowed herself video-recorded while she appeared to be drunk, and was dancing in a sexually provocative manner, including on her knees with her legs spread apart and her arms behind her head. Of course, the video landed on TikTok.
More stupidly, Marin’s friends swear and refer to themselves as the “jauhojengi,” or flour gang. “Flour” is a Finnish euphemism for cocaine. Importantly, Marin was not on vacation and so was, in effect, on duty [STT: Sanna Marin not on holiday when party video was filmed, YLE.fi, August 19. 2022]. At the time, Finland was in a state of “heightened military alertness” because of the Russia-Ukraine war [Marin canceled her vacation herself and went to party—Finland at the same time on heightened military alertness, by Juha Ristamäki, et al, Iltalehti, August 19, 2022].
Then other videos emerged from the same evening. At a nightclub in Helsinki, Marin danced intimately with 39-year-old Olavi Uusivirta, a Finnish pop-star who appeared to be kissing her neck.
The Daily Mail:
In August last year, the party-loving prime minister was secretly filmed dancing intimately with Finnish singer Olavi Uusivirta, 39, leading to him issuing a denial that they were having an affair. There is no suggestion Uusivirta is to blame for the couple’s split.
Uusivirta claimed that he and Marin were simply ‘friends’ and ‘nothing inappropriate’ had happened between them at the Helsinki nightclub.
Grainy video footage showed Marin draping her arms around the singer. Uusivirta was seen pressing his face against her neck at one point in a gesture that some in the Finnish media have claimed was a kiss.
Witnesses told Finnish media at the time that Marin had danced with another two men in similar fashion and sat on the laps of another two during the high-spirited night out.
But Finnish singer-songwriter Uusivirta who got divorced from his wife in 2021, dismissed any suggestion that he was in a relationship with his country’s leader.
