Encyclopedia: Political parties in Finland Finland's two other major parties are the Centre Party of Finland (Keskusta)', traditionally representing rural interests, and the Conservative National Coalition (Kansallinen Kokoomus), which draws its major support from the business community and urban professionals. The Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) is mostly supported by the urban working class but it also has some support among small farmers, white-collar workers, and professionals. The Conservatives were the second-largest party in the SDP-led coalition, which is rounded out by the Swedish People's Party and the Green League (which left the Rainbow-coalition after the decision to build a fifth nuclear reactor). www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Political-parties-in-Finland

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lutherans and Lutheranism But since 1866 there has formed within the state Church a "progressive party", whose purpose is to abandon all symbols and to laicize the church. The practical determination of religious questions rests with the national legislature, or with a consistorium whose members are appointed by the government. The Reformed party gradually gained the ascendancy, and, when the republic was established, their political supremacy enabled them to subject the Lutherans to many annoying restrictions. www.newadvent.org /cathen/09458a.htm

Prime Minister of Finland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The above procedure was first used to elect Anneli Jäätteenmäki to the prime ministership in 2003, previously it was assumed that the president would nominate the candidate who in a third round of voting would have gained a relative majority, usually the leader of the largest party. 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. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Finland

Structure and development of political parties — Virtual Finland A majority of the Young Finns and the People's Party (I) merged with a minority of the Old Finns to form the National Progressive Party ( Kansallinen edistyspuolue), which favoured a republican constitutional settlement, a parliamentary system of government, and social reforms to heal the wounds left by the Civil War. The two successors to the Progressive Party, the Finnish People's Party and the Liberal League, felt the time was right for their parties to merge. 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. virtual.finland.fi /finfo/english/puoleng.html

New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock U Norwegian progressive band that are quite vocal, and remind me a bit of the German band Anabis with the obvious influences of Pink Floyd and Wishbone Ash. This is "real progressive" to my ears, with plenty of virtuosity, emotion and drama from all the musicians, and especially in the centerpiece guitars and keyboards. Really, it's not mostly what I would call "progressive" at all, though I think this album would find wide appeal among GEPR readers in spite of this, which is why it's in here. www.gepr.net /u.html

Scoop: Bill English Address To National Party Conference Some of our supporters are the worst, and we the National Party should not fall in. The Progressive Party will be inside a coalition with Labour, and the Green Party has committed to support the government during confidence and supply votes but misses out on having a role inside the executive. Some of our national character is built on the culture that makes it work, and it's poor economics to write it off and walk away. www.scoop.co.nz /stories/PA0008/S00380.htm   (2379 words)

Eugen Richter on War and Empire - by Joseph Stromberg A cynic would say that all that the National Liberals had gotten from their support of Bismarck – aside from unification – was free trade and the Rechtsstaat ("rule of law"), and in 1879 they had lost free trade. here were a couple of liberal groupings to the "Left" of the National Liberals, which had never made acceptance of scraps from Bismarck's table their political program. The party was "Left-liberal" at a time when that meant adherence to the genuine liberal ideas of free trade, limited, constitutional government, free markets, and peace. www.antiwar.org /stromberg?articleid=3393   (1673 words)
