The Finnish media may have turned into the
Väyrynen & Kanerva show, but the
Associated Press story focuses on the fact that 60 percent of the new ministers are women. It quotes an expert:
"This looks like a world record," said Jaana Kuusipalo, a political scientist at the University of Tampere. "Some governments have been 50-50, but a 60-percent majority of women is internationally very high."
Is it a world record? I can't think of an example of a cabinet with a larger proportion of women. (Can we pretend it's a world record until someone proves otherwise?)
