The Swedish Parliament, known as Riksdag, is the national legislative body of Sweden. It consists of 349 members who are elected every four years. The Riksdag is responsible for making laws, approving the budget, and overseeing the government. The parliament meets in Stockholm and operates under a system of proportional representation. This means that the number of seats each political party receives is based on the percentage of votes they obtain in elections. The Riksdag plays a crucial role in shaping Swedish policy and governance.
