Ahaha, your "calculated deal" to join NATO was made by your ex-prime minister's rabid cunt, contrary to public opinion, which at that time was against it. That's all there is to know in Finnish democracy. When choosing the lesser evil, remember that you have chosen evil anyway.
Actually Finland didn't decide to join NATO until after a clear majority of Fins supported it. In Jan 2022, their ex prime minister (a lovely lady imo) made it clear she didn't think Finland would be joining in the near future. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finlands-pm-says-nato-membership-is-very-unlikely-her-watch-2022-01-19/
Polling shows support for joining NATO growing in Feburary 2022 and then for some reason there was a pretty big jump to a clear majority right around the first week of march.

I wonder why that happened?
