Lokakuuhun mennessä luonto sammuttaa valot ja marraskuuhun mennessä lämmityksen. Kukin pärjää maaliskuun loppuun saakka kinoksissa miten taitaa. VIERAITAKIN käy. Maailman laidoilta saapuu usein turisteja häm- mästelemään lumikinoksia, pimeydessä hortoilevia alkuasukkaita ja punanuttuista parrakasta miestä, jonka ympärillä häärii tonttuja ja punanenäisiä poroja. Only in Finland. PUKKIA tuli männävuosina jopa Kiinasta asti tapaamaan joku Jin- ping-niminen presidentti ja Intiastakin hankalaniminen Mukherje. Ja niiden seurueessa loputon määrä näiden maiden kansalaisia. Hyvä ja internationaalinen meininki oli. MUTTA vaikka kuinka olisi maailman lasten ystävä ja omistaisi len- tävän taikapulkan, niin yhtä asiaa ei tässä maassa pääse karkuun. Näet Anna joulu verottajaa.

The Committee consists of 17 MPs. It serves as a think tank for long-term futures, sustainable development, and science and technology policy in Finland. The Committee’s counterpart cabinet member is the Prime Minister. Unlike other, field-specific par- liamentary committees, the Committee for the Future does not usually discuss legislative resolutions. Instead, the Committee’s mission is to generate dialogue with the Government on long-term, multi-field, and future-oriented problems and opportunities. At least once per term, the Government issues a report on long-term future prospects along with its objectives and targets. -
HOK-Elannon Vaalien Tulokset: Yli 153 000 Äänesti
HOK-Elannon vaalien tulokset: Yli 153 000 äänesti HOK-Elannon edustajiston vaaleissa 2016 äänesti kaikkiaan 153 495 asiakasomistajaa, kun vastaava määrä edellisissä vaaleissa oli 116 357. Äänestysaktiivisuus nousi 21,0 prosentista 26,0 prosenttiin. Mahdollisuutta äänestää internetin kautta käytti kaikkiaan 71 086 jäsentä eli 46,3 prosenttia äänestäneistä (40 204 ja 34,6 %). Vaaleissa oli kaikkiaan 590 714 äänioikeutettua, mikä on 46 000 enemmän kuin edellisissä vuonna 2012 toimitetuissa vaaleissa. HOK-Elannon vaaleissa oli nyt jo kolmatta kertaa käytössä mahdollisuus äänestää verkossa. Osuuskauppa on maassamme ainoa taho, joka tarjoaa näin laajalle äänestäjäjoukolle mahdollisuuden myös nettiäänestämiseen. Järjestelmä toimi moitteettomasti koko äänestysajan. Äänestäjän henkilöllisyys varmistettiin niin, että äänestäjä kirjautui äänestyksen nettisivustolle omilla pankkitunnuksillaan. – Oma tavoitteemme oli nostaa äänestysvilkkaus yli 25 prosentin, mitä pidimme hyvänä tuloksena nykyisessä tilanteessa. Olen iloinen siitä, että tämä saavutettiin ja jopa ylitettiin selvästi, toteaa HOK-Elannon toimitusjohtaja Matti Niemi. – Olemme pyrkineet tekemään osallistumisen vaaleihin helpoksi mahdollistamalla sekä nettiäänestyksen että perinteisemmän postiäänestyksen. Uusia äänestäjiä on nyt saatu selvästi verkon puolella postiäänten määrän pysyessä entisellä tasolla. Vaali-innostusta pyrittiin myös nostamaan näkyvällä markkinoinnilla ja uudistamalla äänestäneiden kesken arvottavia palkintoja. Osuuskauppa on aidosti demokraattisesti hallittu yritys, jonka -
