National Coalition Party - EPP  3
Centre Party of Finland - ALDE 3
Social Democratic Party - PES 2
Green League - Greens - EFA 2
True Finns - Non-Inscrits (Libertas) 1
Swedish People's Party - ALDE 1
Christian Democrats - EPP  1

(Thus ALDE 4 but the two parties are aligned differently within the group)

I voted SFP for the first time in my life. Not very happy with that vote, but there it is (although Nils Torvalds wasn't too far from winning, hah). I would have voted Green League otherwise.
Anyway, really smart move on the SFP's part to nominate a popular politican from Åland as part of their list, they managed to get the Ålanders to turn out in droves. If they hadn't, they would have lost the seat.

I voted for one of the HBL leader writers, Björn Månsson. I've met him and discussed with him - he seems well informed (as he should be) about a wide variety of issues. He also has a sense of humour and a command of languages. The Vaalikone profiler put us in fairly close approximation on what I think are the key issues. I'd rather have Nils or Björn on the seat than young Carl, but SFP's problems are not going to be solved in less than 5 dedicated years of change, so perhaps a younger generation rep is a good idea.
