A happy Finnish New Year

The Alex Salmond Show rings in the New Year in Finland, now officially recognized by the United Nations as the happiest country on the planet. Alex asks Alexis Kouros, editor in chief of the Helsinki Times, whether the new governing coalition of five political parties, all led by women, will succeed in continuing the consensus politics which have led to Finnish contentment, or whether the New Year will bring fresh political challenges.

A happy Finnish New Year
Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
