English Definition
The group of people with authority to govern a country. Sweden is a parliamentary monarchy — the Riksdag (349 members) holds legislative power, the Prime Minister leads the executive, and the King (Carl XVI Gustaf) is a ceremonial head of state. Sweden's government has been led by both Social Democrats (dominant since the 1930s) and center-right coalitions. The 2022 elections brought a right-wing government to power.
Example
