Yeah, public support had been going up in Finland as well, and there's been no real political consensus to join, let alone a really strong public desire.
Finland nailed walking the line between the USSR/Russia and NATO (we even got a new word out of it: Finlandization). There's a reason the putin/trump summit was in Helsinki . To radically change course at this moment would really, really, surprise me.
Finland and sweden are closely connected in this regard. They would likely agree both joins or none of them. So far in sweden there is not a majority amongst the parties to join nato but its getting closer n closer here as well.
I think however their reasoning is that now is not a good time and could likely just bring more fuel to the fire.
