 FREE In-depth report - The National Coalition Party - Finland
The National Coalition Party (Kansallinen Kokoomuspuolue-- KOK) was founded in November 1918 by members of the Old Finn Party and, to a lesser extent, by followers of the Young Finn Party.
The party also was excluded from governments because it was seen by many to be rigidly right-wing, despite party program changes in the 1950s that moved it closer to the conservatism practiced by its sister parties in larger West European countries.
Throughout the interwar period, the party was hostile to the rights of the Swedish-speaking minority and sought to deprive the Swedish language of its status as one of the country's two official languages.

 CNN.com - Era ends as Hanson steps aside - January 14, 2002
However, the poor showing of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party in national elections last November and her failure to win a seat in Australia's upper house, the Senate, are also likely to have been compelling factors.
The party, which was put together hurriedly and haphazardly in an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Hanson, soon became rife with infighting and resignations.
At its peak in mid 1998, the party won 11 seats and 22 percent of the vote in regional elections in the northern state of Queensland.

In the capital, the National Coalition Party held on to their lead, despite a slight erosion of support, and the Social Democrats (who made a gain of 3 seats) clawed their way up into second spot past the Greens (who lost 4 of their 21 seats).
In neighbouring Espoo, the National Coalition Party remained firmly in the driving seat with 38.2% of the votes, while Vantaa continued to be a Social Democrat stronghold - the party took 30.1% here to the 26.6% of the National Coalition.
Nevertheless, the fact that the Centre Party and the Social Democrats were neck-and-neck (SDP 24.9%, Centre 24.8%) when the absentee advance ballots were calculated at 8.00 p.m, the time the polling stations closed, is an indicator that Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen’s Centrists will almost certainly lose the 0.7%-point lead they held in 2000.

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.
