    Minister convicted of corruption says that pretty much every other politician is corrupt after he got caught.

    Yes corruption exists in Finland especially on higher levels but this “everyone else is doing it” is just the oldest defence there is.

    Finland is surprisingly corrupt (it’s just not the sort of corruption where you bribe cops) and Finns are generally stupid and gullible enough to think we’re not corrupt

      Don’t worry, any positions that offer some degree of power (such as those in government) all seem to attract the same kind of asshole people. Doesn’t matter where in the world it is, they are all mostly corrupt.
