Riigikogu

Everyone knows the age-old saying: one image says more than a thousand words. The Riigikogu makes its decisions in a rational way, often based on numbers. Numbers thus speak to the MPs more clearly than images, but for a particularly eloquent result, let us combine the two.

The Riigikogu has 101 members:
30 women, 71 men.
