Mika Merano wrote that it would be strategically wise for the Finns Party to clearly rule out government cooperation with the SDP. According to him, there would be nothing to lose for the party in this decision, as the SDP had already excluded the Finns Party from its government options. Merano stated that the Finns Party's voters expected right-wing policies, which he believed the party could not implement in cooperation with the SDP. He also noted that a clear stance would improve voters' ability to predict what kind of government their votes might be forming. Merano assessed that, after this, the focus would turn to the National Coalition Party, which, in his view, had not made a similar demarcation among the three largest parties. He wrote that the National Coalition Party could, for the time being, signal that government options would be available in different directions: the more moderate wing of the party could form a government with the SDP, and the more right-leaning wing could do so with the Finns Party. According to Merano, this situation would increase pressure on the National Coalition Party to establish clear positions. #Politiikka #Suomi #Strategia (translated)
