Parlamentarism

Parliamentarism (parlamentarism) is the principle that the Government must be tolerated by the Riksdag in order to govern. It means a government cannot stay in office if a majority in the Riksdag actively opposes it. The principle ties the Government's power to the people's elected representatives in the Riksdag.
