The Finnish elections produced a quite amazing result. Nobody thought the final polls could be right.

Social Democrats—17.7% (40 seats) up

True Finns—17.5% (39 seats) up.

Blue Reform (split from True Finns when they elected 'far right' Hallo-Aho as leader, part of out-going coalition) 1% (no seats)

Kokoomus (Free market Conservatives)—17% (38 seats)

Centre (party of the Prime Minister)—collapsed from 1st to 13.8%—31 seats.

So, True Finns would have won were it not for the splitters and were a hair's breadth from winning. SDP and True Finns began to spike due to a scandal over old people's homes and the Oulu grooming scandal. I will have more on this election later.
