Finland has multi-party system. True Finns has good chance of getting into the coalition government, but zero chance of significantly affecting Finland’s position in any important matter.

Unless Finns get so unhappy with the EU that True Finns gets elected to a parliamentary majority.

given the election system there, that is impossible.
There has never been an election where one party got more than 30-35%. Besides, these are not winner-takes-all districts. I think even getting 50%+ of vote (0% chance of that ever) will probably not lead to parlamentary majority for the winning party.
