I’m sure the pearl clutching isn’t sexist at all, and would be equally applied to a man. /s

Even if she was using drugs, so what?

She should mostly be offended that they would accuse her of using the amazingly stupid phrase ‘flour gang.’

Absolutely. Like this one male MP who was drunk and forcibly kissed a female colleague. He was severely punished by being elected to the European Parliament

I’m hardly a prude on mind-altering substances, but a country threatened with war probably ought to keep things to a couple of glasses of wine for the time being.
(That said, I’ve drank with a few Finns and you’d be hard pressed to tell whether they’ve had three drinks or thirteen).

To be fair - perhaps it’s just that it’s Finland, and you have to be on drugs to be happy there.

It may be sexist, but it could just as easily be ageism. She’s fairly young… in her 30s?

She absolutely should not do a drug test. How utterly demeaning.

Why? I can tell you from experience that I’ve seen far worse decisions made drunk than stoned.

I’ve been tested by drugs many times, and I never do very well.
Anything stronger than a kombucha puts me right down.

This seems like quite the endorsement for drugs making people happy by the opposing party.

All the Finns I’ve ever met are very stoic and, without a doubt, badasses. Admittedly, small sample size, but still.

We’ve seen a lot of videos link from politico partying and this one’s just… relatable? She’s PM and she looks like she’s having a great house party like any of the others I’ve been to. I mean, it’s actually reaffirming that the top official in government looks to party with her friends like any of the rest of us do. Not a single luxury brand callout or status claim in the whole thing.
