From there it moves to inheritance tax and what the debate leaves out: what comparable countries have done, where the money to pay the tax has to come from, and average adult wealth of 150,000 euros in Finland against 300,000 in Sweden. The second half is Marine Le Pen's loss of eligibility and the structural problem it creates, why cordons sanitaires do not work, Finland's withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention, and Greenland.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "Onni Rostila's Ilves–Tappara greeting", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "01:12", "title": "April Fools' media every day", "seconds": 72}, {"t": "02:24", "title": "Yle's left-leaning skew", "seconds": 144}, {"t": "03:54", "title": "A depressing media debate in Finland", "seconds": 234}, {"t": "05:15", "title": "Bias in the media, and its effect on Finns", "seconds": 315}, {"t": "08:12", "title": "Inheritance tax turned into capital gains tax", "seconds": 492}, {"t": "10:30", "title": "Finland taxes heavily compared with other European countries", "seconds": 630}, {"t": "13:45", "title": "Broke Finns against Swedes", "seconds": 825}, {"t": "16:05", "title": "Finnish attitudes to inheritance and passing wealth between generations", "seconds": 965}, {"t": "18:09", "title": "Political polarisation", "seconds": 1089}, {"t": "20:00", "title": "Le Pen barred from French politics", "seconds": 1200}, {"t": "21:58", "title": "The state of democracy, and France's fierce protest culture", "seconds": 1318}, {"t": "24:01", "title": "Free speech, and the principles of a fair democracy", "seconds": 1441}, {"t": "27:47", "title": "The problems and consequences of a strategy of exclusion", "seconds": 1667}, {"t": "29:49", "title": "Russia's influence, and the challenges to European democracy", "seconds": 1789}, {"t": "31:55", "title": "Europe's democratic crises and what lies behind them", "seconds": 1915}, {"t": "33:21", "title": "Germany's political situation and its effect on the EU", "seconds": 2001}, {"t": "35:18", "title": "Finland's administrative reforms and their aims", "seconds": 2118}, {"t": "37:26", "title": "Criticising the government's performance, and political responsibility", "seconds": 2246}, {"t": "38:56", "title": "Using technology against traditional solutions in developing society", "seconds": 2336}, {"t": "40:59", "title": "Stubb and Trump: golf diplomacy", "seconds": 2459}, {"t": "43:01", "title": "Personal chemistry in international relations", "seconds": 2581}, {"t": "46:31", "title": "Realistic politics and the value of pragmatism", "seconds": 2791}, {"t": "48:28", "title": "The effects of Trump's decisions on Europe", "seconds": 2908}, {"t": "51:50", "title": "US–Europe security relations now and ahead", "seconds": 3110}, {"t": "55:56", "title": "What the taxpayers' money actually bought", "seconds": 3356}], "sourceTranscriptType": "none", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from YouTube metadata, the neuvottelija.fi episode record and the publisher's own chapter marks, translated one for one; their spacing is irregular and matches the recording.
