Abstract
Sweden and its social life are characterized by certain features which are frequently summed up under the term “Swedish model”. This article deals with one of these features: the government system. For a long time now Swedish politics has been characterized by a considerable degree of consensus and stability. A very evident expression of this stability is the fact that the same party has managed to stay in power for the last 60 years, with the exception of a brief six- year period between 1976 and 1982.
