    Mr Sipila's Centre Party has been in a centre-right coalition government since 2015. Since a 2017 re-negotiation, the government has been formed of the Centre Party, the National Coalition, and Blue Reform.

    The opposition Social Democrats have taken the lead in recent polls by several percentage points    .

    So basically the Finnish Righties fucked up, just like they do everywhere else. :borg:

    You do know that the Centre Party, the National Coalition, and Blue Reform that formed the coalition government....not one of these would be considered "rightists" by American standards.

    I can only assume based on this post that this is a whiskey thread and you're two bottles in.

    What happened here is one of the common features of a parliamentary democracy, not a bug.

    Shit, even the most far-right European parties are to the left of the Republicans, so...
