President's powers
Finnish president hasn't been able to stop laws (bills) for 6 years. He can only slow the progress down since year 2000 when constitution was upgraded.

Does Finland have parliamentary or semi-presidential system? This differs depending on the article.

The article puts forward contradictory information. Finland has either a semi-presidential system or a parliamentary system. It can't have both. --Mrodowicz (talk) 04:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Formally Finland is still semi-presidential. President's powers have been limited in 2000, but by no means entirely removed. --Vuo (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Constitutional court
The only other European countries that lack a constitutional court are the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (which does not have a codified constitution).


 * This is false. Sweden has no constitutional court, so it seems the issue hasn't been researched very thoroughly. I'm striking the sentence for now, since adding Sweden to the list would only remedy the part I know is wrong, the statement may still be incorrect with regard to other European countries. If reintroducing the sentence, please provide a reference. clacke 18:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Correct to all. The key factor to all this is that no codified constitution=no official language. Cool As The Cucumber (talk) 09:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
