Political theses

 

MY TWELVE ELECTION THESES

 
Finland needs motion, stamina and hope. Welfare arises from work, education and entrepreneurship. The society needs to be encouraging. One’s own activeness, encouraging taxation and supports directed in a fair way maintain motion.
 
 1. The developing of Tampere region: airport, railway connections, central arena…
 2. Working must be profitable: no financial aid traps
 3. Taxation must encourage to entrepreneurship
 4. Zero tolerance to black economy
 5. The benefits of the people in the weakest position must not be cut
 6. Child benefit must be maintained – no cutting of the income support
 7. Free education of Finnish people must be maintained - term fees for foreigners
 8. More options to dominant languages – no compulsory Swedish language
 9. Bent pension index must be adjusted - the taxation of pension income must be equal
10. Voluntary rise of pension age with tax and pension carrots
11. Tavase is useless – no to Tavase project
12. Moderation on immigration
 
 
Motion:
 
Finland needs motion. Welfare arises from work, education and entrepreneurship. The society needs to be encouraging. One’s own activeness, encouraging taxation and supports directed in a fair way maintain motion. The Tampere region needs to keep in motion, too. For example, the airport has to be developed and faster railway connections towards the Helsinki region must be accomplished.
 
Stamina:
 
We have to have stamina to fight against indifference, black economy and distributional policy. The history of Finland is the history of persistent and proud people. Global economy, however, challenges us to find new strengths. Clinging to the old ways shows lack of stamina.
 
Hope:
 
The future will be made, and it can be affected. We have hope, if we want to struggle for good things. It is important both for an individual and the whole society that we take care of the weakest. The environment is our responsibility. I hope it will last also for the future generations. I have committed myself to the “one piece of litter a day” project. Big changes begin with small actions.
