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).[1] 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.[2] The cabinet ministers are appointed and dismissed at the discretion of the Prime Minister.[3] The Speaker shall discharge cabinet ministers that have lost a vote of confidence in the Riksdag.[4]
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.[5][non-primary source needed]
