Here are five things to know about the vote in Finland, where spending cuts and immigration have dominated the debate:Finland recently topped the UN world happiness rankings for the second year running. Just 6.6 per cent of Finland’s population is foreign born, making it the least ethnically diverse country in Western Europe. Russia has long been one of Finland’s main trading partners, thanks in part to a shared 1,300-kilometre land border. Finland’s economy finally emerged from recession in 2016, making it the eurozone’s second slowest to recover from the 2008 financial crash. Finland’s current parliament has one of the highest proportions of women MPs in the world — 41.5 per cent after the last election.
