Government of Sweden
The Government of the Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: Konungariket Sveriges regering) is the national cabinet of Sweden, and the country's executive authority.
The Government consists of the Prime Minister and their cabinet ministers (Swedish: statsråd). The Government is responsible for its actions to the Riksdag.
The Prime Minister is nominated by the Speaker of the Riksdag, and is elected and discharged by vote of the Riksdag. The cabinet ministers are appointed and dismissed at the discretion of the Prime Minister. The Speaker shall discharge cabinet ministers that have lost a vote of confidence in the Riksdag.
The short-form name Regeringen ("the Government") is used both in the Basic Laws of Sweden and in the vernacular,[citation needed] while the long-form is only used in international treaties.[non-primary source needed]
The Government governs the country and is responsible for its actions to the Riksdag. The Government consists of the Prime Minister and other cabinet ministers (Swedish: statsråd), and operates as a collegial body with collective responsibility.
The Prime Minister is nominated by the Speaker of the Riksdag, following formal consultations with representatives of the partygroups of the Riksdag. Within four days, the Riksdag proceeds to a vote on the proposal. Unless more than half of the members of the Riksdag vote against the proposal, the nominee is approved and the Speaker proceeds to appoint their nominee as Prime Minister. Thus, the Prime Minister may be elected without a majority of the Riksdag voting for them.
The Prime Minister may appoint a designated Deputy among their ministers, to deputise for them in case of absence. Failing to do so, or in the case of the Deputy being unable to deputise at a given time, the Prime Minister's duties will be assumed by the minister currently in office that has served as minister for the longest period of time.
The Prime Minister appoints their cabinet ministers, organizes the Government Office into ministries (Swedish: departement), and appoints heads of ministries among their cabinet ministers.
