Although the government coalition retained its majority, the heavy
losses sustained by the Centre Party caused the resignation of the
Cabinet. The Centre Party and the National Rally were not willing
to enter a government headed by the True Finns, now the largest 
party on the right. A new centre-left government was then formed by 
the Social Democrats, Greens, Left Alliance, Centre Party and 
Swedish People's Party.
