In all seriousness, there’s likely no demand for this party. They are keeping their economic stance close to their chest (center-left but “totally liberal”?). If they go the economic liberalization route it’s literally just Kokoomus and if they go the same route the left has gone, no center-righter will ever vote for them.
Hard to see the leftists crossing party lines either, the SDP are already pro-EU too while the Left Alliance is more suspicious of a Federal EU.
With the recent breaches to the founding documents of the EU with the debt-sharing package, it’s also hard to justify any more integration and federalization. There needs to be shared rules before cooperation.

Given today’s [Iltalehti article](https://www.iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/1bf99aa6-08f1-4bc3-8936-fce24eb46ff3) saying that “Leaving the EU is the long-term goal of basic Finns”, I feel that Volt is more relevant than ever, to ensure Finland does not become the next Brexit nightmare.
Volt is collecting signatures here to become a party – [https://puoluerekisteri.fi/puolue/53](https://puoluerekisteri.fi/puolue/53)
Wake up babe, new Kokoomus just dropped!
