between the 4 of them really, Currently True Finns, Social Democrats, Centre Party and National Coalition, in that order.
The ideal situation for me would be SDP biggest and PS (True Finns) second.

National Coalition is the biggest
Social Democratic Party second
True Finns third
No idea what our next government will look like. But disappointed that National Coalition got the most votes, too much on the right for me.

After 2 months of negotiation we finally have a new government, hasn't took this long in my lifetime.
Our new government is formed by (its called a "rainbow government" and "6-pack"):
National Coalition Party, Social Democratic Party, Green League, Left Alliance, Swedish People's Party and Christian Democrats
Those six parties consist of our right wing and left wing parties AND our liberal and conservative parties :P This isn't going to end well. The bickering has already started.
The opposition will be:
True Finns and Centre Party
The current policies they have revealed pretty much means I'm screwed. So is the rest of lower middle class and middle class. I'm taxed more in every way and the tax reductions Ive got are being stripped off. So if this continues after 4 years (new elections), I'll start learning Icelandic or Korean and seek greener fields.

What majority did the coalition make?
With so many parties forming the majority, surely nothing will make it through parliament?

They have 126 seats while the opposition has 74. The Finnish parliament works so that the big guys in parties decide on things in the cabinets, and the rest of the members vote like sheep. One of the things people got fed up.
The Christian democrats got their view through that no gender equal marriage laws (i.e. adoption rights) will be made in the next 4 years. Greens have already said Christian democrats cant stop it.
Left Alliance had 3 negotiators quit mid way cause they couldn't allow all the cuts National Coalition was going to make.
Social Democrats said the deal has a strong influence from them, National Coalition said its ********.
They haven't even started working yet :P Combine that with many EU countries going for bankruptcy, and because we even remotely had our shit together, we have to pay it (which was against EU laws). Along with our budget now going way over the limit. Its going to be interesting.
