It&#x27;s not that there was no vote so much as there was no opposition, so not vote was needed to pass it. It&#x27;s as if it passed unanimously. Although this happened in a &quot;nearly-empty plenary chamber&quot;, which makes one wonder about quorum -- did they have quorum?

Note that &quot;without a vote&quot; in this context means that no one in the plenary session opposed passing it, so no vote was held.

I was not expecting this from a country like Finland.

I&#x27;m confused. Is it that there were no mp&#x27;s who were opposed to the legislation? Or is it that there were, but it was somehow sneaked through without a chance for them to vote against it? Or what?

The article is scant on details - what was the bill and why was it controversial?

I wonder why this was marked dead.<p><pre><code> tiedustelulaki 14 minutes ago [dead] [-] I&#x27;m currently launching https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tiedustelulaki.com&#x2F; On this website I intend to collect as much information as possible about the politicians who supported this legislation, I hope to expose every last part of their private lives.
