1995 Finnish Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 19 March 1995. Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p606 The Social Democratic Party (SDP) achieved the best result of any party since World War II, winning 63 of the 200 seats in the Eduskunta and defeating the incumbent centre-right coalition led by the Centre Party. The result was attributed to the government's unpopular austerity policies as well as lingering effects of the early 1990s recession. After the election, a five party "Rainbow Coalition" was formed, between the SDP, National Coalition Party, Left Alliance, Swedish People's Party and the Green League, with SDP leader Paavo Lipponen appointed Prime Minister.

1991 Finnish Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 17 March 1991, the first time a Finnish parliamentary election had been held on a single day.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p606 For the first time since 1962 the Social Democratic Party was displaced as the largest party in the Eduskunta, with the Centre Party winning 55 seats and forming the first centre-right, non-social democratic government since 1964,Paavo Väyrynen (1993) ''It Is Time for the Truth 2: Facts and Memories About Mauno Koivisto's Finland'', WSOY with Esko Aho as Prime Minister.

1987 Finnish Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 15 and 16 March 1987. Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p606 The results saw a rightwards shift in Finnish politics, although it was uncertain how far, because the voter turnout — at a comparatively low 75% — hurt the left more than the right and had a variable impact. The centre-right National Coalition Party (KOK) increased its vote share by only 1% yet gained nine seats in the Eduskunta, almost overtaking the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as the largest party. The SDP vote share dropped by 3%, with 100,000 fewer votes, yet they lost only one seat due to the way their votes were distributed across the country. The Centre Party's vote share remained stable and it gained two new seats. The Greens, who had registered a significant gain in the 1984 municipal elections gained two seats, far fewer than expected. Weakened perhaps from its membership in the long-lived government, the Finnish Rural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1983 Finnish Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections were held in Finland on 20 and 21 March 1983. Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p606 The elections were widely regarded as a "protest election" because, contrary to expectations, the major parties with the exception of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) performed poorly; the Liberal People's Party (LKP) lost all its seats in the Eduskunta, while the Finnish Rural Party (SMP) more than doubled its seat tally and the Greens won seats for the first time. The SMP's success was credited, at least in part, to voter distaste for some mainstream parties because of political scandals; no significant policy differences emerged in the election campaign. The SDP won 57 seats, the best performance by a party since World War II. Background As was customary in Finland after a presidential election, the government resigned after Mauno Koivisto's victory in the presidential elections in January 1982.

Society
A society is a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social group sharing the same spatial or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent of members. In the social sciences, a larger society often exhibits stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.

Societies, and their norms, undergo gradual and perpetual changes. Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would otherwise be difficult on an individua ...
