	National Coalition Party (Finland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was founded on December 9, 1918, chiefly on the basis of the fennoman "Old-Finnish party".
		The Coalition Party is one of the three biggest parties in Finland, along with the Social Democrats and the Centre Party.
		Kokoomus was the party having the closest ties with the emerging Lapua Movement.

	Eduskunnan historia
		The Swedish People’s Party (Svenska Folkpartiet, RKP) was established in 1906, with the intention of forming a coalition of the entire Swedish-speaking population.
		As a consequence of this division, representatives of the People’s Party joined forces with the republican group in 1918 and became the National Progressive Party, whereas the old Finnish party was succeeded by the National Coalition Party (KOK) in 1918.
		The Finnish Rural Party (SMP), a spin-off from the Agrarian Party in 1959, emerged with surprising strength and, headed by its founder Veikko Vennamo, gained an enormous avalanche of votes in 1970.

	general elections in Finland
		This drop was all the stronger since the economic expansion during the 1980's had led the Finnish to being accustomed to a regular improvement in their standard of life.
		Finnish electoral law also obliges the political movements to organise a primary election within the parties just in case the number of candidates appointed by the movements' local sections transcends the number of candidates that they are allowed to put forward, ie the number of seats in each constituency.
		However, according to the opinion polls, the Centre Party is at present in the lead in terms of intention to vote during the general elections on 16th March.

	Structure and development of political parties — Virtual Finland
		The Party and its papers were proscribed in 1923, although it continued to have candidates in parliamentary elections under different electoral alliances throughout the 1920s.
		The idea behind the Communist Workers' Party was to retain the name and the associated history of the Communist Party on the Finnish political scene and allow voters the continued alternative of being able to vote Communist.
		The four parties (Social Democrats, the Agrarian Party/Centre Party, the Democratic Union of the Finnish People/the Left Alliance, the Coalition Party) that became the dominant political grouping in those elections, were still the largest parties in the most recent polling, though in a slightly different order.

	Prime Minister of Finland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In 1918 the Finnish Senate was transformed into the cabinet of Finland, and the position as vice-chairman of the Senate's Economic Division was transformed into that of a prime minister.
		The President nominates a prime minister according to the (new) constitution, after the parties in the eduskunta (parliament) have negotiated the distribution of seats in the new cabinet and the government's programme.
		Previously full formal powers to appoint the prime minister and the rest of the cabinet had been the privilege of the president, who was free to diverge from parliamentary principles, although ministers must enjoy the confidence of the parliament.

	Finland - The Social Democratic Party
		The election of Rafael Paasio to the party chairmanship in 1963 ended the reign of the old leadership and brought a gradual improvement in SDP relations with the Soviet Union; another result was a gradual healing of rifts within the labor movement.
		During the 1970s, the SDP moved closer to the center in Finnish politics as a result of the departure of some of the party's members for groups farther to the left and the cautious pragmatic leadership of Kalevi Sorsa, who became party chairman in 1975.
		The party could be seen as a victim of its own success in that it had participated in implementing policies that brought unprecedented prosperity to Finland, which served to transform Finnish society and dissolve old voting blocs.

		At the level of individual parties the subsidies have certainly been influential: although the 'old' parties have lost some ground, they continue to win the lion's share of the vote (Mair 1993, 128), and it is usually the same parties that are able to take part in coalitions.
		The emergence of the cartel party diminishes the incentives for the parties to compete (Katz and Mair 1995, 19-20; Young 1998, 346) because absence from government does not lead to a withdrawal of resources anymore, and the parties are aware of their mutual interest to collective survival with other parties.
		This is true because the parties are well defended by the political system: the electoral rules favour the established parties, the state subsidies are allocated only to the parliamentary parties, and the parties have not been challenged by interest organisations.

	4.4 The Finnish parliament, government and political parties
		Party chairman Paavo Lipponen is the new Prime Minister.
		Centre party, the leading party of the previous government, was the greatest loser of the elections, probably because the party's split-up in the question of EU-membership.
		The Rural Party was one of the biggest losers of the elections; a once significant populist party, it has waned away almost completely and may soon disappear entirely from the Finnish political chart as it is currently in deep economical problems.

		The Finnish immigration to the United States was tied to two factors: growing repression in Tsarist Russia and the need for immigrant labor as part of the process of industrialization in the United States.
		A special subcommittee of the Socialist Party's NEC consisting of Executive Secretary Walter Lanfersiek, Oscar Ameringer, and James Maurer attended the November convention of the Finnish Federation and held another session at which 7 representatives of each faction made their case verbally and with documents.

	Jussi Pikkusaari: A difficult Freedom Social Democracy's Defeat to the Church in the Finnish Cultural Struggle
		It is the Party's view that all children should have the possibility to choose for the subject of their moral education the school subject which is now called the "study of life stance" in Finland.
		In the 1906 Party Congress, which was the last one before the first Parliament elections and where, among other things, a wide ranging, detailed and "grand" electoral program was accepted, the matter was supposed to be discussed based on the introduction of two already named persons, one religious, the other free-thinking.
		The Social Democratic Party's life stance policy was not discussed in the Party Congresses and it was also left out of their agitator training and the electoral campaigns of the Social Democrats.

		Lane et al (1993, 214) maintain that 'Finnish politics up to the present day has been characterised by pragmatism and realism.' Most of the time ideology has been a secondary factor, but this does not mean that it would not have had any role.
		Although electoral change is only one factor in party system change, it is in many ways the most fundamental (Smith 1989a, 355; 1989b, 157), and since party systems are 'highly interconnected with many other social institutions, it is tempting to discuss electoral changes' in a broader context (Franklin et al 1992, 411).
		Of the three largest parties, Centre is the party of the rural areas (Karvonen and Rappe 1991, 250), while both the Conservatives and the SDP fare significantly better in urban areas (Martikainen and Yrjönen 1991, 66).

		The Swedish People's Party is in the parliament also supported by the representative from the Åland Islands, who technically is not a member of the party as the authonomous islands have a political system of their own.
		The law states that a party which fails to enter the Parliament two times consecutively must be dissolved, but usually they re-arrange themselves with the collection of another 5,000 signatures.
		Among them are three retired persons' parties (the least of them called Party of Shared Responsibility of Pension Receivers and Greens), the Women's Party and the Natural Law Party which aims to heal the Finnish economy by the means of yoga flying.

		The Communist Party leadership had also been considering a man named Erkki Salomaa, but Salomaa was regarded as somewhat headstrong and independent of mind, whereas even a classified Security Police dossier on Saarinen had described him as “a reliable man, who in the first instance is likely to give preference to orders from the FCP”.
		He threatened the rupturing of party and state relationships and implied that failure to sign up would put a stop to the financial support the FCP was receiving from Moscow and also to the lucrative contracts in the “eastern trade” that had benefited companies linked to the party.
		Quotas were introduced for leadership positions and party officials, and there was a division of the spoils in financial aid for the two factions.

		The party place was nice, toilets and shower facilities good and clean (for a demo party at least), the party in general proceeded very smoothly and the atmosphere was very nice.
		After partying outside during Friday his head was so hot and sensitive people kept on trying to pat his head and maagi yelled "don't touch it don't touch my head that hurts!" Too bad he had a headache too, this would have been very funny otherwise.
		Unfortunately the party has evolved to the point where everybody brings their own stereos and some of the guys bring systems that could easily be fitted to a disco or a small concert hall.

	Sauna Party
		My first sauna party was very fun but of course I didn't know what to expect.
		So the first sauna party was filled with drinks, as most Finns like to keep hydrated with beer, cider and water.
		Anyway, after the Finns hopped into the sauna for about 10-15 mins they would come out have a couple of drinks, jump into the lake (always a lake nearby at the cottage) and swim a little.

		His reinstatement as party leader in 1957 has generally been regarded as a factor in the Night Frost Crisis of 1958 and in the SDP's subsequent exclusion from power until 1966 (see Domestic Developments and Foreign Politics, 1948-66, ch.
		These changes, coupled with the election returns of 1966 that led to the first socialist majority in the Eduskunta since 1945, allowed the party to leave the political wilderness to which it had been consigned after the Note Crisis of 1961 (see table 5, Appendix A).
		The party lost 100,000 votes and the office of prime minister in the 1987 parliamentary elections (see table 6, Appendix A).

		Those Fennomans originally Swedish-speaking learned Finnish, and made a point of using it both in the society and at home, giving their children what they missed themselves: the Finnish mother tongue.
		In the last years of the 19th century, and in the first years of the 20th, the Fennoman movement split into two political parties: the Old Finnish Party and the Young Finnish Party.
