The politics of Sweden take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative

democratic constitutional monarchy. Executive power is exercised by the government,


led by the Prime Minister. Legislative power is vested in both the government and
parliament, elected within a multi-party system. The judiciary is independent,
appointed by the government and employed until retirement. Sweden is formally a
monarchy with a monarch holding symbolic power.

Sweden has a typical Western European history of democracy, beginning with the old
Viking age Ting electing kings, ending with a hereditary royal power in the 14th
century, that in periods became more or less democratic depending on the general
European trends. The current democratic regime is a product of a stable development
of successively added democratic institutions introduced during the 19th century up
to 1921, when women's suffrage was introduced. The Government of Sweden has adhered
to parliamentarism — de jure since 1975, de facto since 1917.

Since the Great Depression, Swedish national politics has largely been dominated by
the Social Democratic Workers' Party, which has held a plurality (and sometimes a
majority) in the Swedish parliament since 1917. General elections are held every
four years.

The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Sweden a "full democracy" its report for
2020.[1] According to the V-Dem Democracy indices Sweden was 2023 the third most
electoral democratic country in the world.[2] According to Freedom House Sweden
scored 40/40 for protection of political rights in 2020.[3]
