    Marin has been reasonable about this. This meal allowance is a normal policy for a prime minister living at the official residence, she didn’t even ask for it. In a recent TV interview she just said “I have other things to do rather than deal with these kinds of things all day long”. On Twitter she even had to debunk a rumor that her August 2020 wedding was paid by taxpayers!

    I’m afraid we’re gonna have our full-on Trump moment soon. This is such a preamble to that.

    It would require a victory in the next parliamentary election for the Rudimentary Finns Party, becoming the largest party.

      Which according to the polls might very well happen. It’s still a few years away, though.
