’Government’ should be capitalised when it refers to ’valtioneuvosto’ or ’hallitus’ and is the head noun in the phrase.

It should be written lowercase when the reference is generic, as in Finland is electing a new government, when it means ’valtio’, or when it occurs as a modifier, e.g. government proposal, government resolution.

Proper names are an exception, e.g. Government Programme, which refers to a specific document.

the members of the Government (1)
  
   
Cabinets are referred to by the name of the Prime Minister, e.g. the Second Vanhanen Cabinet.
  
   
The term ’Cabinet’ in the UK (and the US) refers to a special committee of senior ministers. Accordingly, while the English term well established in describing the Finnish government, it cannot be considered an adequate equivalent of ’hallitus’ and the term ’Government’ is to be preferred.
