As an American with no knowledge of Finnish politics, how would you destroy Keksusta once and for all?
so ok, Keskusta is the kind of moderate agrarian party that has died out in most of Europe but somehow persists here thanks to successfully rebranding itself as the defender of the countryside.
they contribute nothing to politics beyond fighting a losing battle against urbanization, waging dumb urban–rural culture wars (concerning plant-based food, fur farming, peat production, sustainable forestry, etc) that prevent the Finnish agricultural sector from developing, and causing chaos whenever they end up in the government. which is pretty often because they are centrist enough to work with anyone and just have a lot of dumb special interests. kind of like The Joker
anyway here's what we're going to do:
1) somehow legalize weed
2) start selling bhang lassi (Indian cannabis drink) made from Finnish milk, heavily promoting that aspect in the marketing
3) introduce oat yougurt -based bhang as a vegan alternative
4) everyone in Keskusta will lose their minds and it will split into two parties, the more conservative one being totally against weed and the other faction (presumably led by Mikko Kärnä) seeing the situation as a cow milk vs. oat milk culture war they must take a stand in
5) that's it, both Keskustas will be unable to secure hefty majorities in municipal governments and fade into irrelevancy
