Centre Party

Building a Better Finland

The Centre Party is building a Finland where you and your loved ones can have a good life. We feel that neither the hard right nor the patronising left are on the right course. Instead, we find balance in the centre.

We are a party for all of Finland. We do not believe that postal codes should dictate one’s life in Finland. Keeping our country inhabited from border to border is the foundation of our national security.

The Centre Party has its feet firmly planted on the ground. We believe in moderation rather than provocation. As indicated by our name, we stand at the centre and mediate in the middle. This means we listen, compromise and collaborate as opposed to sowing discord. We are not looking for a common enemy but a common direction.

We are both proudly patriotic and international. We defend the Finnish way of life and draw from our strengths.

The Centre Party’s politics are based on values, knowledge and experience. We build on what has already been successful. At the same time, we innovate, experiment and, when necessary, swim against the tide.  We do not shy away but face the world with open eyes.

At the Centre Party, we do not ask what yesterday looked like but what we need for tomorrow.

Our political principles

We promote collaboration and pulling together as a team

Work and security throughout Finland

A Centre Party Finland achieves growth through competence, hard work and entrepreneurship. The goal is a country where everyone can contribute to building our homeland to the best of their abilities.

The Centre Party advocates on behalf of homes and families.  For us, it is important that everyone has the opportunity to realise their dream of having a child. There must be a balance between work and leisure time in everyday family life.

Equal and high-quality education is a top priority for the Centre Party. Young people deserve the chance to study, have hobbies and work for a living. Lifelong learning belongs to everyone.

It must be possible to build a good life anywhere in Finland. The elderly and the infirm need proper treatment, care and services based on need, not wealth or postal code.

We should be able to produce sufficient food and energy on our own, in all situations. We must secure the ability of the authorities and Defence Forces to act in any and all circumstances. A sustainable economy creates a strong foundation upon which to build a safer Finland.

We prevent climate change through fair means. Renewable resources, land and forests also provide opportunities for work, entrepreneurship and wellbeing.

An internationally-active Finland attracts investments and is as a good place to live. We feel it is important for Finland to be known as an educated, civil and reliable nation that respects international agreements.

We believe that Finland’s best days lie ahead. The Centre Party gives you the opportunity, every day, to be part of shifting things in a better direction.
