SDP First, KESK Second in Finland

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is holding on to the top spot in Finland, according to a poll by Taloustutkimus released by YLE Radio News. 24.8 per cent of respondents would vote for the SDP in the next election to the Diet.

The Finnish Centre Party (KESK) is second with 24.1 per cent, followed by the conservative National Rally (KOK) with 20.6 per cent, the environmentalist Green League (VIHR) with 10 per cent, and the Left Wing League (VAS) with 8.8 per cent.

Support is lower for the Christian-Democrats (KD), the Swedish People's Party (RKP) and True Finns (PERUSS). The next legislative election is scheduled for Mar. 18, 2007.

Finnish politics are kind of hard to get a grip of, with majority coalitions generally forming after elections containing two of the big three (Socialdemocratic, Centre and Conservative) and some small party. Or at least they remain a mystery to me.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
