The new law on election financing was supposed to guarantee that the people know the linkages of their representatives. This has not happened. Members of Parliament were supposed to submit reports by Monday last week on where their election campaign funds came from. And they did, indeed, give an accounting. So what did we find out? That the reports were pure evasions. Now we know that election funds came from art sales, as well as from vague supporters’ associations, admission fees to seminars, and in the case of Kyösti Karjula, “from the proceeds of a quiz”. It is also something of a guessing game as to how the supporters’ associations got their money, what happened in a seminar, or which companies supported which candidates.
