Finland had its municipality elections and among the election candidates we had a good share of known names from the entertainment and sports world, among others. Among them also three Eurovision veterans; Jaana Pelkonen, Vicky Rosti and Sami Helle of Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät. Jaana Pelkonen , already a second term MP and well known local politician in Helsinki scored 6.466 votes and was the 5th best in Helsinki. The Eurovision song contest 2007 hostess and ex-commentator and national final hostess is also a fresh mother so maybe she has new ideas how to make Helsinki better? Anyways, she's been leading the fight against the rather ridiculous Finnish alcohol laws since years and if I could have, I would have voted her, too. Virve "Vicky" Rosti , Eurovision 1987 entrant tried to get into politics in her hometwon Vantaa, but with her 222 votes she narrowly missed out the reserve place. That's a bit like coming 12th in the semifinal. So close yet so far... ...
