Surprised by SF. I thought they were effectively the liberal clergy party now.

 Finns continue to collapse (truly the Lib Dems of the populist right, lol), and social democrats see signs of life: ("muu" means other not a new party aimed at cow farmers.)

Are there any possible defectors in the LA? You would think an ostensibly libertarian party might have some issues with the refugee policy of the government.

Could the blocs start to break down? I highly doubt Radikale Venstre would want to enter an SD government with strixt rules on migrants; nor would LA want to support a government with a DPP inspired economic plan.

Meanwhile, in Iceland:

5.3% Bright Future (saving itself from oblivion)

11.4% Left Greens (they've polled very steady - their base hasn't deserted, but no capitalisation on the unpopular government etc.)

11.5% Progressive (a bit of a boost, but still below their 11.7 "worst result ever" in 2007.
   
12.9% Social Democrats (well ... above the LG at least)

20.6% Independence (below their historically bad 2010 result, and apparently the lowest the party has ever polled)

and drumlol ..
   
34.9% the Pirates

The Danish political structure seems like, utterly unworkable at the moment. Neither the red or blue blocs make much cohesive sense - I still think we could see a grand cooperation between two of DPP, SD and Venstre is in the cards after the next election.

Timo Soini is stepping down in a move which could imperil the Finnish government.

based on the sort of shifts that have occured since the breakout of PS (I.e. less focus on Euroscepticism that centred on Greece, the euro and economic issues; more focus on refugees, law and order and Islam) I would think that Halla-aho is favoured? Certainly it would be a more electorally sustainable path imo, although the figurehead may be a liability.

Finnish Greens are relatively centrist economically, right?

Could an S-SF government include Alternative as well, or are they seen as too dippy?

"Some are punitive: One measure under consideration would allow courts to double the punishment for certain crimes if they are committed in one of the 25 neighborhoods classified as ghettos, based on residents’ income, employment status, education levels, number of criminal convictions and “non-Western background.”

Ok that seems beyond the pale, unless NYT are really screwing around with the facts.

Is the Centre Party still as Kremlinist as it was back in the day?

Hopefully Silvio berlusconi requests foreign minister when the nightmare alliance wins italy, and immediately makes as many diplomatic trips to Finland as possible. Either that or offers Sanna asylum to escape the anti-partyrock lifestyle discrimination that is endemic in Finland.
