As a former member of the National Coalition Party, Elina Ketonen wrote that she had been following the party's change in immigration policy with interest. She noted that in a recent poll by Yle, the National Coalition Party had fallen behind the Finns Party, and the party's parliamentary group had presented a strict immigration line. According to Ketonen, this was about the parliamentary group's program, not a directive approved by the party congress. She wrote that the program would not bind the next government nor guarantee concrete decisions during the next term. Ketonen interpreted the shift in line primarily as a bid for votes and assessed that the rhetoric would harden as support weakened. In her view, credibility stemmed from consistent actions, and voters had the right to ask whether the National Coalition Party's line had truly changed or if only the campaign speeches had changed. #maahanmuutto #politiikka #keskustelu (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that he supports the National Coalition Party and opposes blue-red coalitions. He stated that he supports right-wing or center-right governments because he sees himself as a bourgeois and right-wing individual. Fjäder demanded that Chairman Orpo publicly declare that the National Coalition Party would not engage in leftist cooperation, and he assessed that otherwise, the poll support would not turn to an increase. #vaalit2027 #KOK https://t.co/PLjDeZuQka #politiikka #oikeisto #Suomi (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that the National Coalition Party suffered from a support panic and, according to him, tried to attract support from the Finns Party in the polls by talking about tightening immigration. He claimed that the party had not done anything concrete about the issue and described its statements as cheap. Arvonen urged to avoid an electoral trap. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #vaalit (translated)

The author expressed that they were especially puzzled by what the coalition described as panic-driven actions, blame, and the spreading of false information following the latest poll.

Martin Paasi responded positively to Miko Bergbom and said that acting was a duty in this situation. He wrote that, in his opinion, Finland could not withstand irresponsible tax increases, policies that would increase state dependency, or immigration policies based on virtue signaling. Paasi added that the right-wing parties still had a majority according to the polls. #Suomi #politiikka #oikeisto (translated)

Miko Bergbom wrote that the changes in the polls had, in his opinion, stirred feelings among some members of the National Coalition Party, who expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Finns Party. He doubted that this would be helpful and suggested focusing on the formation of a right-wing government. Bergbom supported the continuation of spending cuts and preventing tax increases aimed at work and entrepreneurship amounting to billions of euros. His proposals included tightening immigration restrictions and continuing spending cuts, taxing foundations and trade unions, as well as reforming taxation related to work and entrepreneurship. He criticized the vice-chair of the National Coalition Party group, Pia Kauma, for focusing on being outraged by comments on social media. Bergbom suggested that this might serve as a smokescreen for building a Social Democrat-National Coalition government. Finally, he asked Martin Paasi whether he supported the continuation of the right-wing basis. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Joakim Vigelius said he participated in the True Finns' tent at the Tampere Hämeenkatu Appro, where the party was, according to him, involved for the fourth time. He mentioned that sausages and overalls badges were distributed at the tent and that politics was discussed. According to Vigelius, students specifically talked about the upcoming parliamentary elections and the rise in the True Finns' poll support. He reported that students encouraged the party to continue on the same path and opposed the return of the left to power. During the three hours at the tent, Vigelius noted that there were a few boos directed at the party, but in his estimation, there was at least one hundred times more encouragement, supportive messages, and joint photos taken. He thanked the students for their support and said it helped him continue his work for the good of Finland. #Opiskelijat #Politiikka #Tampere (translated)

The True Finns assessed that their polling results could be explained by the fact that the party had consistently worked for the country's sake and had taken responsibility throughout the entire term. According to the party, it had not changed its positions based on the polls, but its stance had remained the same. #ps #perussuomalaiset #hallitus #politiikka #Suomi #gallup (translated)

According to the author, the biggest concern for the National Coalition Party amid the fuel crisis and the threat from Russia was that the Finns Party had surpassed them in the polls.

Juho Salo listed actions such as moving to the left in the hall, approving the SDP's unsuccessful recovery package, and postponing the correction of the YEL issue.

Finally, he questioned the list. https://t.co/V2ds4O4xhP #politiikka #vaalit #SDP (translated)

Sture Fjäder described the situation as sad to see from a National Coalition Party perspective and said that the National Coalition was in third place due to its own mistakes. According to him, the True Finns were in second place and could rise above 17 percent in the next poll. Fjäder stated that the National Coalition could not enter into a blue-red government: in his view, the alternatives were the opposition or a government that would include the True Finns, the National Coalition, the Centre Party, the Christian Democrats, and the Swedish People's Party. #vaalit2027 https://t.co/oDPgXU9BMM #vaalit #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Matias Turkkila wrote that according to the morning poll, the Finns Party had surpassed the National Coalition Party. He criticized Yle's choice to give the result and the difficult situation of the National Coalition Party for analysis to Tulikukka de Fresnes, who had worked for a leftist party newspaper. According to Turkkila, the analysis focused on criticism of the government and racism. Turkkila referred to a previous EVA study, according to which Yle was, in his opinion, more left-leaning than the main supporter of the Left Alliance, Kansan Uutiset. He previously thought that journalists who had worked at Kansan Uutiset would move Yle to the left, but now believed they were shifting it to the center. #politiikka #media #Suomi (translated)

The Finns Party has surpassed the National Coalition Party for the first time in Yle's party support measurement, and researcher Juho Rahkonen suggests that this milestone could significantly affect the support development of the parties. #Perussuomalaiset #Kokoomus #Gallup (translated)

The author cited the Gallup report "State of the Global Workplace 2026," according to which manager engagement dropped from 27% to 22% over the course of a year. He added that Gallup indicated this group as significantly influencing the overall level of employee engagement decline. (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that he considers the support development of the Finns Party to be positive. According to him, the party's support had tended to rise before the parliamentary elections and was greater than the polling numbers in the elections. He hoped that the development would continue until the elections and assessed that the support for the Finns Party would mean less corruption and immigration as well as prioritizing citizens. Merano congratulated the Left Alliance on their record results. He assessed that this was due to positive work and offering genuine alternatives, although he considered these alternatives to be poor and extremely harmful himself. He was not surprised by the Greens' support remaining stagnant, as he believed the Left Alliance already offered everything that the Greens did, and described the Greens' communication as sour whining. Regarding the situation of the Centre Party, Merano wrote metaphorically that the party's sun had set behind the culverts. He described the Centre Party's election speeches as promises of cheap fuel for tractors. #perussuomalaiset #eduskuntavaalit #suomi (translated)
