IMO I can’t really understand people who think voting NCP and “The Rudimentary Finns Party” and then having them form a cabinet is a good idea. The last cabinet with them on board led to heavy austerity measures and heavy controversies. Many voters seemed to have a short memory, and The Finns Party may have had a role in that with their propagandist campaigning.

So I’m not really content with the election results. I rooted for several smaller parties and they didn’t get any seats, but they can really get beefed up for the next election. Luckily several whacko parties, such as the QAnon-adjacent VKK (Power Belongs to the People) and the explicitly racist Blue-and-Black Movement, didn’t get any seats in the parliament.
