 Finland Smaller Parties and the Greens
One, the LKP, was a vestige of its former self; others, such as the Greens or the SMP were responses to trends seen elsewhere in recent decades in Western Europe.
The LKP is directly descended from the Young Finn Party, which after independence took the name National Progressive Party (Kansallinen Edistyspuolue--ED) and played a major role in Finland during the interwar period.
After World War II, this party declined in strength and was dissolved in 1951.

 A short history of Finland
Most of the time the Suomen Sosiaalidemokraatinen Puolue (Finnish Social Democratic Party, SDP) is the largest party, but, with the exception of minority government in 1926-1927, the centre-right parties form the government.
The main centre-right parties are the Maalaisliito (Agrarians' League, ML), the conservative Kansallinen Kokoomus (National Coalition, KOK) and the liberal Kansallinen Edistyspuolue (National Progress Party, KEP) as well as the Svenska Folkpartiet (Swedish People's Party, SFP).
The premiership rotates quickly between the leading parties and most prime minister hold office for a period shorter then a year.

 Finland
The SFP, a moderate centrist party with liberal and conservative wings, had a slightly declining number of seats in the Eduskunta, but its position in the middle of the political spectrum often made it indispensable for coalition governments.
The National Coalition Party (Kansallinen Kokoomuspuoue--KOK), rigidly conservative in the interwar period, gradually became more moderate and grew stronger, surpassing Kesk in the number of parliamentary seats in 1979.
Excluded from a role in government for decades, possibly because it had been so right-wing earlier, th KOK Party participated in the government formed after the national elections of 1987, supplying the prime minister, Harri Holkeri.
