Abstract

The dataset was used to map opinions on Petteri Orpo's new government in 2023. Particular attention was paid to respondents' opinions on the participation of The Swedish People's Party of Finland (SFP) in the government. The data was collected as part of the Citizen Panel of Swedish-speaking Finns (Barometern), which is part of The Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO).

First, respondents were asked whether they think it is a good thing that The Swedish People's Party of Finland (SFP) is forming a government together with the Christian Democrats (KD), the Finns Party (PS), and the National Coalition Party (NCP). Next, respondents were asked whether they think Anna-Maja Henriksson has been a good chairperson for the Swedish People's Party of Finland. Finally, respondents were asked how well they think the new government will perform in the following areas: the status of the Swedish language in Finland, the Finnish economy, care and welfare, and the climate.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, education (categorized into three levels), region, age group, age, year of birth, and constituencies.
