Ruling Majority
Finland's proportional representation system encourages a multitude of political parties and has resulted in many coalition-cabinets. No single party has held an absolute majority of seats during independence.
After the parliamentary election of 2011 a six-party governing coalition was formed with Jyrki Katainen of the National Coalition Party as Prime Minister. Besides Katainen's party his coalition includes the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance, the Green League, the Swedish People's Party and the Christian Democrats.
