List Of Political Parties In Finland
This article lists political parties in Finland. Finland has a strong multi-party system with coalition governments formed usually by the largest party. Parties who are not in government are called the opposition.
The party system has been rather stable since the foundation of the parliament (1907) and independence (1917), as parties founded then or their breakoff factions have consistently held the overwhelming majority in the parliament. The establishment of the Green Party is the exception.
