w, brussels correspondent, terry schultz. how the election was going. we expect turn out to be very high monica in part because in early voting and absentee voting, 40 percent of fins already cast their ballots so it's clear that interest is very high with a race. this close, as i mentioned there in the report, the 3 leading parties are within the margin of error, even in, in the pre both polling. they were as little as one percentage point between the 1st place and the 3rd place party, which is at this point, a prime minister son in lawrence. so interest is very high and i would expect a high turnout even in, in person voting today. all right, so very tight raised above the nationalist fins party has gained traction in the previous years. why are they so popular? certainly in the last election as well. they were very popular and you know, for the other parties were a risk to take the top spot. and you never know with parties like this, whether it's a protest vote against the other mainstream, traditional parties, or whether people actually support some
