To be held in two weeks - April 14th. Some good background here and hereLatest polling doesn't look good for the current government.  There a nice little 'who should you vote for thing' here |

The Liberal Party are the ones I match with the most, but I'd probably be a glory hunter and go for the NCP.

Much to nobody's surprise, my closest match was the Greens (77%) followed by the Left Alliance (76%). Then Swedish People's Party (75%), then a whole host of parties (Communist; Pirate Party; SDP; Movement Now) on 74%.

When I took this test, my closest matches were surprisingly: Left Alliance (79%) followed by the Animal Justice Party (79%), and the Feminist, Communist, and Green League on 78%.

Closest matches to me (on 75-79%) were Finns Party, Finnish People First and Christian Democrats.

Mainly Green, but also feminist and left.
Not a great surprise...

Two runs gives Movement Now 77, Swedish People's Party 76.5, Centre Party 76, SDP 75.5, then a little gap to 4 others at 73.
EDIT: 'Your parliament' has the Centre Party first with 36 seats, Movement Now get 15.

I got KD on 83%, KESK and True Finns on 81%. You got a higher match with the True Finns than me then, but you didn't vote for any of those parties in the poll.. |

To be held in two weeks - April 14th. Some good background here and hereLatest polling doesn't look good for the current government. There a nice little 'who should you vote for thing' hereWhat a mess. Seeing polling like that makes me thankful we have FPTP and two main parties. I took the test and seemed to have a 70-75% match with no fewer than 12 parties! In descending order, LIIK, RKP, KOK, SIN, TL, KESK, IPU, PS, LIB, SKE, PP & KD. With no party was I above 75%. |

I was unfortunately disturbed whilst looking at the thread and forgot! I'm not keen on the True Finns under the new regime, but don't subscribe to the attempts to paint them as some kind of fascists. I'd vote KESK I imagine. |

Closest match was, unsurprisingly the Greens.

Share and enjoy.  On a general note, looking at the 'Parliament' rather than the 'Parties' result makes more sense for my responses. The 2015 KESK-PS-KOK coalition had 124 out of 200 seats, the polling graph above gives them 44.2%, and my couple runs resulted in 67 seats. While the 1995,1999,2007 and 2011 coalitions all have more that 110 seats and would result in a Sipilä II cabinet. |

There a nice little 'who should you vote for thing' here is the English version. I might have done something wrong because it gave me a list of individual politicians of various parties, but not for the parties themselves. I started by selecting "Helsinki" as my location because it wouldn't accept a non-location. The results which it gave to me at the end had someone from "Liik" (whatever that is) as the top suggestion, with 79%. My knowledge of Finnish politics is very rusty and out-of-date; I remember reading many years ago that supposedly the two main parties are the same sort of mushy centre, but based on divisions from the civil war 100 years ago. I think it was an article which started off by trying to trick the reader into thinking that it was about Irish politics. |

I think it was an article which started off by trying to trick the reader into thinking that it was about Irish politics. The results page does have a 'Parties' tab in the top left part and a 'Parliament seats' one below the displayed candidate or party results. It works like the 'By Party' vs 'By Member' tab on the votes pages at commonsvotes.digiminster.com/. |

The reason it is done like this is because the electoral system is an open list so you vote for a specific candidate within a party group. My wife did the test and also got PS top but with a different candidate from my top candidate. Her top candidate was actually several places lower on my list and below a number of candidates from some other parties. I assume it must be theoretically possible to have a highest match for a candidate from one party but then when you click on the party tab, find that you match a different party |

The highest rated party was LIIK. |
