työyhteiskunnalliset

Työyhteiskunnalliset are a political party in Finland, founded in 2014. The party advocates for a strong welfare state, high taxes, and extensive social services. Työyhteiskunnalliset is known for its left-wing ideology and its focus on social justice and equality. The party's name translates to "social democratic" in English, reflecting its commitment to social democratic principles.

The party was established by a merger of the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) and the Finnish Communist Party. This merger aimed to create a stronger left-wing force in Finnish politics. Since its formation, Työyhteiskunnalliset has been a significant player in Finnish politics, often being one of the largest parties in the Finnish Parliament.

Työyhteiskunnalliset is led by Sanna Marin, who has served as the Minister of Finance and Minister of Economic Affairs and Employment in the Finnish government. The party's platform includes proposals for increased public investment in infrastructure, education, and healthcare, as well as measures to combat income inequality and promote social cohesion.

The party's electoral success has been mixed. While it has won a significant number of seats in the Finnish Parliament, it has not consistently been the largest party. Työyhteiskunnalliset has been part of several coalition governments, often working with the Centre Party and the Green League.

Työyhteiskunnalliset is a member of the Party of European Socialists (PES) and the Progressive Alliance. These affiliations reflect the party's commitment to European integration and its support for progressive social policies at the international level. The party's logo features a stylized representation of a worker's hammer and sickle, symbolizing its socialist roots.
