YLE: Social Democrats surges ahead, National Coalition and Finns Party swap places

THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY has established itself as by far the most popular political party in recent weeks in Finland, indicates an opinion poll commissioned by YLE.

Popular support for the ruling party surged by 2.5 percentage points from the previous poll to 22.1 per cent, a rating that is enough for an almost four-point advantage over the second most popular party in the Finnish Parliament.
