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.
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.
