Ritva´s themes in politics are :
1. Labour market and business need promoting of employment and skills. Unemployment is too expensive for the society in many ways.
2. We need to focus on health promotion and desease prevention. If municipalities cut remaining health promotion budgets, the burden of remedial treatment will increase uncontrollably.
3. We need to assist companies and entrepreneurs in establishing and developing their business in Finland. We also need new business innovations in public service sector.
4. Transport policy must take the climate change in account and therefore build competitiveness into especially passanger transport through efficient rail solutions.
