Finland
The Parliament consists of 200 members, 199 of whom are elected every four years from 13 multi-member districts electing 7 to 36 members using the proportional D'Hondt method. In addition, there is one member from Åland.
NCP’s share of votes translates into 48 seats in the Eduskunta, Finland’s Parliament, while The Finns, a nationalist party running largely on an anti-immigration and anti-European Union agenda, is to get 46 seats and Marin’s Social Democrats 43 seats respectively.
so about 137 seats for the three leading parties and one quarter of seats for some of the remaining 40 percent of votes, with others getting no representation
light years ahead of our FPTP but a good portion of wasted votes apparently
In EU parliament, new Finnish government has switched from Identity and Democracy
to ECR.
Identity and Democracy
a right-wing to far-right political group of the European Parliament, launched on 13 June 2019
European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Party "We are united by our centre-right values, as expressed in the Reykjavik Declaration. The ECR Party is dedicated to individual liberty, national sovereignty, parliamentary democracy, private property, limited government, free trade, family values and the devolution of power." from https://ecrparty.eu/about/ if you say that switch is change from right to centre, I will have to believe you.
