The fact that Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin's critics are still calling for her resignation is disproportionate and unreasonable, writes Dr Sherry Sufi.
Regular folks would find it concerning that Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin has had to apologise after images from a private party were made public on social media.
Based on details available, neither has she broken any laws, nor behaved in a manner that's inconsistent with the social norms of the Western way of life, which Australia shares with Finland. They're already away from the desk plentifully throughout the 24 hour cycle and have every right to be. Secondly, there is a Deputy and a Cabinet with sufficient executive powers who would act on the advice of military and intelligence heads.
While on duty, they must take reasonable steps to ensure they're on alert and at optimum cognitive capacity. Authorities in such societies censor Western cinema and music in order to prevent their own youth from being influenced by perceived or actual degeneracy. Yet here, everyone who routinely posts party pics and videos of their own and chucks likes on the same from their families, mates and colleagues in their newsfeed each weekend was quick to call for her resignation.
