It's all about the coalition. 17.7 vs. 17.5 just means who gets first dibs to form a coalition government in a Parliamentary system.
Whoever gets to form the majority coalition gets control of the government.

17.7 vs 17.5 is hardly taking over anything.
When budgets are tight and the makeup of a country is changing due to outside forces, it is very difficult to keep heading in the same direction.
I wish the Finns all the best and hope for their continued success.

Agreed, cla68. The rise of nationalism around the world is very scary. History shows this never ends well.
