YLE: Ruling parties start to haemorrhage support to opposition

THE NATIONAL COALITION remains the most popular political party in Finland, indicates the latest opinion poll conducted for YLE by Taloustutkimus.

The Finnish public broadcasting company reported yesterday that support for the right-wing party has decreased by 0.4 percentage points from the previous month to 22.1 per cent. Tuomo Turja, the research director at Taloustutkimus, said the decrease is small enough to conclude that the party has been largely unaffected by what has been a rocky first fortnight into the government term.
