Why aren’t candidates elected based on individual votes?
The reason is the proportional election method used in Finland and the d’Hondt method. In this system, a candidate’s success depends not only on their number of votes but also on the total votes of their electoral alliance. Each electoral alliance gets as many representatives as its number of votes entitles in relation to other alliances and the number of votes of independent candidates.
