		Although not responsible politically to the Eduskunta, the president could carry out many of his functions only through a cabinet government, the Council of State, which was dependent upon the support of the Eduskunta.
		Interest groups initially negotiated the terms of a new wage agreement; then it was, in effect, ratified by coalitions of parties in government; and finally the Eduskunta passed the social and economic legislation that underlay it.
		The core of this relationship was Finland's guarantee to the Soviet Union that its northeastern border region was militarily secure.

	Finland - President
		The risks that such freedom from political responsibility entails are lessened because most of his executive decisions can be carried out only by means of the Council of State, and his legislative powers are realized through the Eduskunta.
		The occasion for the decisive shift of presidential activity from principally domestic concerns to foreign relations was the threat a changing world order posed for Finland's survival; the crucial roles, played by President Paasikivi in formulating a new foreign policy and by President Kekkonen in consolidating it, restructured the office they held.
		Legislation was being prepared that would circumscribe his right to dissolve the Eduskunta and his role in the formation of governments; in the latter case, he would be required to take greater cognizance of the wishes of leading politicians.

		After the war (with Russia until 1956 having a miltary base on leased land not that far from Helsinki) the Communist Party was included in every government as a matter of course.
		Seen from Finland the reluctance of the other German parties to include their Left Alliance (with don't forget 25% of the vote in former Eastern Germany and 8%+ overall [4.9% in the former West Germany]) in even coalition discussions seems completely undemocratic.
		The present road is mostly single lane and is full of long, heavy Russian car transporters going often in convoy (although perhaps less than before as they begin to realise that the roads in Finland are safe) and at the maximum speed limit allowed.
