World Questions comes to Finland at a time of political change. In elections this April, the left wing Social Democratic Party won a narrow victory over the nationalist Finns Party. What does the result mean for the country? Jonathan Dimbleby is joined by leading politicians and a public audience at Finlandia Hall in Helsinki to find out.
The panel:
Ville Skinnari: Vice Chairman, Social Democratic Party
Riikka Purra: The Finns Party
Elina Lepomäki: The National Coalition Party
Jari Hanska: Freelance Journalist

BBC World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
