Tehokkojen

Tehokkojen, also known as the Tehokkojen Movement, was a Finnish political party that existed from 1995 to 2003. The party was founded by former Prime Minister Esko Aho and was notable for its centrist and pro-European stance. Tehokkojen was a merger of the National Coalition Party and the Centre Party, two of Finland's major political parties. The name "Tehokkojen" translates to "The Efficient Ones" in English, reflecting the party's focus on practical and efficient governance.

The party's platform emphasized economic liberalism, social conservatism, and a strong commitment to European integration. Tehokkojen won the 1995 parliamentary elections, and Esko Aho became the Prime Minister of Finland. However, the party's support waned in subsequent elections, and it was dissolved in 2003. The dissolution of Tehokkojen marked the end of a significant period in Finnish politics, as the party's centrist ideology and pro-European stance had a lasting impact on the country's political landscape.
