Mika Merano wrote that the concern over the support for the National Coalition Party had led to communication guidelines, which he claimed originated from Ellun Kanoilta or imams. He assessed that the guidelines resulted in criticism from the Finns Party and discussions about inheritance tax. Merano said he understood why the National Coalition Party did not want to eliminate inheritance tax by reducing an equivalent amount of development aid. According to him, the party's target program committed to the UN's sustainable development principles, which indicated using 0.7 percent of gross national product for development aid. Merano estimated that this meant doubling the current development aid of about one billion euros. He argued that development aid could not be cut if the goal was to increase the use of tax funds for what he described as virtue signaling and for financing, among other things, swimming pools, private zoos, and golf courses. According to him, this would be the case even if the cut would allow for the elimination of the inheritance tax. #Kokoomus #Perintövero #Kehitysapu (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that his party was in third place and the support for the PS had increased. According to him, the party's support would not grow unless its chairman announced that the National Coalition Party would not join a blue-red government. Fjäder mentioned that the discussion was heated about whether the National Coalition Party would join a blue-red government instead of a right-center government, and estimated that this would undermine the party's support. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/FI3ByOSP3i #vaalit #politiikka #puolueet (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that his party should stop scoring own goals. He said that the True Finns had loyally pushed through a joint government program in the right-wing government for 3.5 years, including goals of the National Coalition Party. Fjäder urged against criticizing government partners and to direct criticism towards the red-green left. He announced that he opposes blue-red cooperation. #kok https://t.co/Ys9N2goKOt #politiikka #hallitus #Suomi (translated)

Tuomo Saarni wrote that party discipline was important for the National Coalition Party as well, but in the vote regarding the terrorist organization, the female representative of the party was allowed to vote in favor of mandatory hijab, according to him. He asked what misogyny was still needed for. #politiikka #naisasiat #demokratia (translated)

Mikael Lith disputed the claim by Muhis Azizi, the leading figure of the Turku Coalition, that the racism scandals of the True Finns had led to a decline in the support for the Coalition. According to Lith, Azizi strongly supported immigration and wanted the Coalition to ally with the red-green parties to increase it. Lith reminded that Azizi had already described the immigration policies of the government program in 2023 as "unequal" and "discriminatory." https://t.co/s1Hs3RHY2I #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)

Sture Fjäder described the speeches of the chairperson of the SDP as arrogant boasting. According to him, the Centre Party could not enter a government like that of 2019 with its current support, as it would be suicide for the party. Fjäder also assessed that the third-place National Coalition Party could not join a blue-red government, as its support would further decline. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/BkIrQe5Sot #vaalit #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Otto Juote wrote that, in his opinion, the YEL reform would not improve the situation for entrepreneurs during the current government term. He justified his view by saying that the law would not come into effect until 2028 and that it would not apply to any entrepreneur before the parliamentary elections in spring 2027. Juote argued that the timeline was politically intentional: according to him, the National Coalition Party could present itself as the initiator of the reform before the elections while avoiding responsibility for the consequences, which would only begin in the next term. He suspected that a blue-red government formed after the elections could annul or postpone the reform and anticipated that the SDP would demand its cancellation. Juote noted that no invoices based on the new model had yet been sent, nor had implementation decisions been made. According to him, the new parliament could repeal the law or postpone its entry into force with a simple legislative amendment, allowing the practices of the 2023 model to continue. He also questioned the information systems as an official basis for a delay extending to 2028 and assessed that the postponement would give the National Coalition Party the opportunity to leave the implementation of the reform to the next government. Juote claimed that the National Coalition Party did not want to reform YEL during any government term. #YEL #politiikka #uudistus (translated)

Joakim Vigelius said he participated in the True Finns' tent at the Tampere Hämeenkatu Appro, where the party was, according to him, involved for the fourth time. He mentioned that sausages and overalls badges were distributed at the tent and that politics was discussed. According to Vigelius, students specifically talked about the upcoming parliamentary elections and the rise in the True Finns' poll support. He reported that students encouraged the party to continue on the same path and opposed the return of the left to power. During the three hours at the tent, Vigelius noted that there were a few boos directed at the party, but in his estimation, there was at least one hundred times more encouragement, supportive messages, and joint photos taken. He thanked the students for their support and said it helped him continue his work for the good of Finland. #Opiskelijat #Politiikka #Tampere (translated)

Kimmo Vaskelainen accused the SDP's Antti of lying during IS's Haapala's interrogation. According to him, Antti claimed that according to the constitution, the largest party in elections gets to form the government, even though Vaskelainen argues that the constitution does not grant such a right. He wrote that the position of the largest party as the initiator of government negotiations was based on established political practice, which could also be bypassed. Vaskelainen added that the social democrat's lying did not come as a surprise to him. #politiikka #Suomi #perustuslaki (translated)

Former Saxony news wrote that BMW had canceled its promise of an official car after, according to him, a representative of the wrong party had ascended to the speaker of the Saxony-Anhalt parliament. He suggested that the decision would turn against the party itself and noted that some of its 18 million supporters might drive BMWs. https://t.co/sbftDRr6aO #BMW #SaksiAnhalt #poliitika (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that a majority of the EU had voted in favor of adding the Muslim Brotherhood to the terrorist list and that all of Finland's leftist MEPs had voted against it. He wondered why Sirpa Pietikäinen, a member of his party, the National Coalition Party, was among the opponents and linked the decline in the party's support to this. #EU #terroristijärjestöt https://t.co/EtNJkVcjKr #EU #terrorismi #politiikka (translated)

Henri Vanhanen recalled working in the parliament in February 2022 when Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine. According to him, Finland had not yet sent defense aid to Ukraine at that time. Vanhanen stated that he had suggested to the National Coalition Party’s parliamentary group that the government should be required to provide military assistance. Vanhanen wrote that Finland was sending its 35th defense assistance package to Ukraine and had delivered defense materials worth approximately 3.6 billion euros to the country. He described the support as a long-term national commitment that had been continued across government terms and party lines. According to Vanhanen, supporting Ukraine's defense was also necessary for Finland's security. He assessed that the repelled Russian attacks in Ukraine would reduce Russia's ability to threaten other countries in Europe. Vanhanen wrote that Finland's support should continue for as long as it was needed. https://t.co/SGRsbSx53P #Ukraina #Suomi #Puolustusapu (translated)

Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)

Sture Fjäder urged the National Coalition Party to look in the mirror and wrote that the Finns Party was not responsible for the party's poor performance. According to him, the reasons were the scandals of 2026, maneuvering, and pushing things through, which were in conflict with the National Coalition Party's strict economic policy line and weakened the party's credibility. #kokoomus https://t.co/VYkdlr8VNh #politiikka #suomi #vaalit (translated)

Veli Karimies said he had considered joining the National Coalition Party a few years ago and had also weighed other parties. He stated that he ended up with the Finns Party after analyzing which party's views he believed were most accurate and whose forecasts had been the most precise. #politiikka #Suomi #Perussuomalaiset (translated)

Eija-Riitta Korhola-Dunderfelt wrote in her response to Suvi-Anne Siimes that she was completely of the opposite opinion on the matter. According to her, the undeniable trademark of the National Coalition Party had been home, religion, and fatherland, but one important voter group no longer saw this line in the party. At the same time, she assessed that the Finns Party had become a more credible alternative. #politiikka #Suomi #vaalit (translated)

Juho Salo listed actions such as moving to the left in the hall, approving the SDP's unsuccessful recovery package, and postponing the correction of the YEL issue. He also mentioned saying no to the right-wing bloc, considering a blue-red coalition, and blaming another party for its own polling support. Finally, he questioned the list. https://t.co/V2ds4O4xhP #politiikka #vaalit #SDP (translated)

According to Kirsi Piha, the reason for the decline of the National Coalition Party is the confusion between the party leadership's strategy and tactics, which has led to voter alienation and problems in cooperation with the Finns Party. #Kokoomus #Perussuomalaiset #Politiikka (translated)
