Helsinki (constituency)

Helsinki is a Finnish constituency represented in eduskunta. It covers the administrative area of the city of Helsinki, with a population of 591,306 (as of 2011). Helsinki elects 22 members to eduskunta.

The constituency has an urban profile, as it includes the city center of Helsinki and its eastern, mainly working-class suburbs. It does not include most of the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area, which falls instead under the constituency of Uusimaa. The largest party by votes in the 2019 election was the Green League, although it shared the lead by seats with the National Coalition Party.[1]

gollark: And mark that method as unsafe since *in its current form it is not safe*.
gollark: You should get someone to code-review it, though.
gollark: ```Instead of the programs I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this language of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Rust as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite unsafe, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in compilation.```

gollark: Do not embark on the madness of unsafe Rust. Not even the Rustonomicon can save you fully.
