List of political parties in Finland

Coalition governments which comprise a majority of seats in the Parliament of Finland are the norm.

Due to the lack of an electoral threshold, many parties are usually represented in Parliament.

Most Finnish governments, particularly since World War II, have thus been grand coalitions comprising parties stretching across the political spectrum.

To qualify as a registered party, an association must have bylaws guaranteeing democratic internal organization and must be able to present 5,000 signatures from its supporters who are eligible to vote.

A party that fails to win a single seat in two consecutive parliamentary elections is stricken from the register, but may apply again.
