Policy
As in most rural areas of Finland is in Uurainen the Centre Party, the strongest political force. In the 2008 local elections, she received more than a third of the votes. In council, the highest decision-making body for local affairs, it provides nine out of 21 deputies. Four seats won, the Social Democrats, as well as the right-wing populist True Finns, who are thus disproportionately in Uurainen. Three mandates won the Christian Democrats, one conservative National Coalition Party.
