Voting underway in key Finnish elections


17.04.11

Voting is underway in a general election in Finland, the results of which could have a significant impact on future EU bailouts.

The country's parliament, unlike others in the euro zone, has the right to vote on EU requests for bailout funds, meaning it could hold up plans to shore up Portugal and bring stability to debt markets.

The nationalist party ‘True Finns' has ranked high in recent polls and are on course to win the election.

Support for the True Finns has nearly quadrupled since the 2007 election, partly fuelled by anxiety over unemployment and pension cutbacks.
