Sweden is a monarchy but the king, Carl Gustav XVI, is not in charge. He is more of a tourist attraction and a symbol for our country. Sweden is in fact a democracy lead by people chosen parties. The biggest parties are the social democrats and conservatives which are kind of the opposites of each other. The are smaller parties such as the green party, christian democrats, the left hand party, the liberal party, the centre party and the Sweden democrats. The social democrats have been winning but the conservatives won since two elections back with the social democrats right on their heels. The Sweden democrats are new to the parliament and many believe and accuse them of being racists. That keeps the other parties from cooperating with them since it might give them a bad reputation. This means not much is happening in the parliament right now and it might stay like that until next election in four years.
