Agree

Yes

The Social Democratic Party of Finland, being a center-left political party, generally supports transparency and accountability in governance.

Agree

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

While the Social Democratic Party of Finland might support the idea of enhancing transparency through the release of tax returns, requiring a public audit each year could be seen as overly intrusive or impractical. The party values accountability but also pragmatism in policy proposals, which might lead to a more moderate score.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and also required to release their medical records

While the Social Democratic Party of Finland supports transparency, requiring the release of medical records might be seen as an unnecessary invasion of privacy that does not directly relate to a candidate's ability to perform their duties. The party is likely to balance transparency with respect for personal privacy, leading to a slightly negative score.

No, their income is none of our business
