2. They have a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. It is organized with King Carl XVI Gustaf as the head of state, then a legislative branch that is unicameral. The role of monarch is limited for ceremonial and representative functions.
3.       3. There are 9 political parties

4.       4. The “major” or “ruling” party in Sweden is the Swedish Social Democratic Party.
5.       5. All of these stated parties are official parties of the Swedish government.
6.       6. A lot of these parties are around social issues or ideological issues. Some could be considered economic depending on how one looks at the party. Some may see a Socialist party as an economic because it is a government that for the most parts provides everything for free because it is in the taxes. Or someone could see this type of government as one who believes Ideology in providing for those who are not as wealthy as others.
      7. This has shown me that plenty of different types of government can succeed in the world. It does not have to be a democracy, or a socialist government. It has shown me it can be any because it all depends on the culture in which the country is immersed in and how that has a role into respect for others i.e. political leaders.
