The Finns party is polling at 20%, neck in neck with the Socialists and the Eurocrat "centre-right" party. If that's how the parliament ends up, the most likely result is a grand coalition of the KOK and the Social Democrats with a couple of other "centrist" parties in order to lock the Finns out of government.
The party self-statedly bases its politics on "freedom, responsibility and democracy, equal opportunities, education, supportiveness, tolerance and caring"[ and supports multiculturalism and LGBT rights. Their foreign stances are pro-NATO and pro-European orientated
According to Wikipedia, but regardless, sounds like absolute garbage.
So they're basically Mitt Romney. I don't care, that doesn't benefit me in any way. They can raise taxes all they want, as long as they stop importing millions into my continent.
That seems like a very fragile coalition. Finns and the Swedish People's Party are not all that compatible, and wouldn't Movement Now need to get at least 5% to gain list seats?
Pro-EU and pro-free market are not even close to the same thing. If the real stakeholders in European politics don't want to see the Finns in power, they will bully or bribe the establishment parties to keep them out. If they are able to participate in government, it will mean that they're likely just as co-opted and ineffectual as the Sweden Democrats have turned out to be.

Basically the exact opposite of national socialism, and they’re “right wing”.
