I think there's a saying along the lines of 'never ascribe to maliciousness what can be explained by stupidity'.

I'm not really well versed in Finnish politics, but I can say that I've met my share of high-functioning morons and I was glad they didn't try politics, because they surely would have succeded. (Of course there are numerous examples from world politics of ones that have indeed succeeded...)
