Policy brief: Multi-party co-operation as an asset for democracy in Finland

Multi-party co-operation as an asset for democracy in Finland (2025) presents where and how political parties co-operate in Finland. Finland has a long tradition of multi-party co-operation and coalition governments – phenomena which attract a lot of interest outside the country. The policy brief underlines the importance of co-operation across party lines to a democratic society.

Intra-party democracy in Finland’s political parties

Demo Finland has produced a publication in Finnish presenting the different ways in which Finnish parliamentary parties implement internal democracy. Intra-party democracy in Finland’s political parties (2024) is a summary of that publication, and the aim is to share some of the good practices, spark discussion on intra-party democracy in political parties in other countries and offer tools for peer learning.
