===Cabinet===

{{See also|Prime Minister of Finland}}
After parliamentary elections, the parties negotiate among themselves on forming a new cabinet (the [[Finnish Government]]), which then has to be approved by a simple majority vote in the parliament. The cabinet can be dismissed by a parliamentary vote of no confidence, although this rarely happens, as the parties represented in the cabinet usually make up a majority in the parliament.

The cabinet exercises most executive powers and originates most of the bills that the parliament then debates and votes on. It is headed by the [[Prime Minister of Finland]], and consists of him or her, other ministers, and the [[Chancellor of Justice (Finland)|Chancellor of Justice]]. Each minister heads his or her ministry, or, in some cases, has responsibility for a subset of a ministry's policy. After the prime minister, the most powerful minister is often the [[Minister of Finance (Finland)|minister of finance]].

As no one party ever dominates the parliament, Finnish cabinets are multi-party coalitions. As a rule, the post of prime minister goes to the leader of the biggest party and that of the minister of finance to the leader of the second biggest.

The [[Orpo Cabinet]] is the incumbent 77th government of Finland. It took office on 20 June 2023. The cabinet is headed by [[Petteri Orpo]] and is a coalition between the National Coalition Party, Finns Party, the Swedish People's Party, and the Christian Democrats.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Finland's conservative party picks ministers for right-wing coalition government – The Seattle Times |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/business/finlands-conservative-party-picks-ministers-for-right-wing-coalition-government/?amp=1 |access-date=18 June 2023 |website=www.seattletimes.com |date=18 June 2023 |archive-date=18 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230618202805/https://www.seattletimes.com/business/finlands-conservative-party-picks-ministers-for-right-wing-coalition-government/?amp=1 |url-status=live }}</ref>
