    Reported on facebook that the oldest former member of the Finnish parliament and oldest former minister (Minister of Social Affairs and Health 1979-1982) Sinikka Luja-Penttilä has died at 98. Can't find any obituaries on the internet yet but it seems true, as far as I know she'd been in failing health for a while and there's apparently an obituary in the Demokraatti newspaper.

     

    Ancient anti-NATO defence minister Taisto Tähkämaa is now the oldest former Finnish minister and member of parliament, 99 in December and has been in a care home for years (also one of my Electoral DP picks)

    Someone on Finnish Wikipedia found Luja-Penttilä's Demokraatti obituary and apparently she died back on 18th November 2022. Still no online obits anywhere.

    Bit of a boring Top 10.

     

    I like that they brought Woodward, Nelson, Nolan and Ono back. Harris, Sakamoto and Rollins are decent additions. I'm surprised Roberta Flack wasn't included.

     

    Whale, Kaczynski and Hurd are risky drops, I also think Attenborough should've been kept. Pleased they dropped Akihito, but Cheney making it again is a bit baffling.
