MPs Tere Sammallahti (National Coalition) and Onni Rostila (Finns Party) work through Helsingin Sanomat's investigation into gifts given to MPs, and both end up defending transparency rather than the gifts. Rostila, now deputy chair of Parliament's Constitutional Law Committee, defends Finland's ex ante constitutional review on three structural grounds and concedes that three years on the committee institutionalise you. Sammallahti announces here, publicly for the first time, that he is running for deputy chair of his party, and names his competitors. The economic half covers Swedish wealth data, the scoping of Finnish inheritance tax research, a proposed 40 per cent capital income bracket, and Sami Miettinen's thousand-euro birth endowment. Unusually, the Neuvottelija Sisapiiri segment on the Iran war that closes the episode was published free as part of the main episode: about thirteen minutes, from 55:50 to the end, of material that normally sits behind channel membership.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "The scale of public-sector efficiency potential", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "01:20", "title": "The original Viisasteluklubi
