Swedish government

The Swedish government is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. The King has a ceremonial role, while real political power lies with the Riksdag, Sweden's parliament, which consists of 349 members. Citizens vote in general elections every four years to choose representatives. The Prime Minister, typically the leader of the majority party or coalition, heads the government and implements laws. Sweden's system emphasizes social welfare, equality, and environmental sustainability, with various political parties representing a spectrum of views. The judiciary is independent, ensuring laws are applied fairly.
