The Finnish government is based on proportional representation and coalitions, so my Finnish mother tells me, which I imagine means less scope for governments to sieze tyrannical power without someone to keep them in check. The country is indeed also very socialist, but somehow it works and you don't appear to piss money up the wall on stupid things in the same way that Britain does.
I'd move to Finland in a heartbeat if I could learn the language and persuade my wife and kids, and the political system is one of the reasons.
