lpv:translated text	"Ten days ago Finnish Social Democrats celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the granting of full suffrage to women. Finland was the first country in the world in which all women had the right both to vote and to be elected. One hundred years later, more than a third of members of parliament are women, and women hold 40% of ministerial positions. In many other European countries, however, the situation is not very good. In Estonia, for instance, where women were granted full suffrage in 1918, still only one fifth of members of parliament are women, and women hold only every seventh ministerial position – that is, 14%. One of the reasons for this inequality is that voters cannot find suitable female candidates on the voting lists. On lists of candidates, the first ten names still include only one or two women. I call upon my colleagues throughout Europe to ensure that in their home countries there are an equal number of women and men among the candidates for parliament. That would be the truly democratic choice. And one need not fear that women will not vote for other women. It is time to give up that silly myth."@en1
