Finnish people have been increasingly identifying themselves as politically right-wing, a new survey found.

Half the country, or 49 per cent, defined themselves as right-wing, the Finnish Business and Policy Forum (EVA) found in its annual values and attitudes research published on July 15.

By contrast, only 31 per cent, identified with the Left, while 19 per cent considered themselves centrist.
