The current prime minister is Bruce Leader, of the liberal party Libera, who was sworn in on May 4th 2023 after winning a landslide victory in the elections after ever-popular opponent Vera Ask could not run for a third term. Promising change and modernisation to the country, Leader accrued 89% of the popular votes, and could be sworn in already after two weeks of the standard double-checking of the votes.

Leader's party Libera thus successfully formed a coalition with Grön Front, the green party, and Veritas, the party advocating scientific progress, which is reflected in the Board of Ministers. Leader's young age and charismatic personality are also reflected in his cabinet picks, e.g., choosing the similarly young and popular Dr. Marina Nicklasson as Minister of Finance and steadfast supporter Peter Blodtvage as Minister of Defence.

  • Minister of Interior Affairs: Dr. Pia Ekholt, Libera

Rikstinget (parliament)

The Rikstinget, the Ederian Parliament, is the major governmental body tasked with raising and discussing proposals for amendments to law. Such proposals are written by seated members of Rikstinget, called Riksmän, usually through their roles as chairmen of the many sub-committees of Rikstinget. The committees are formed as task groups to assess a certain issue before presenting it prior to voting in Rikstinget (referred to as a confession), but are also regularly formed to put a voted resolution into effect.

The 411 seats of the Ederian Parliament are distributed to political parties or individuals to exactly match their proportions of votes, i.e., direct representation. Therefore, coalitions and political alliances are often necessary to bring proposals into effect.

Stormännen (Electoral Board)

The Stormännen, the Ederian Electoral Board, an instance that previously pre-elected members of political parties into governmental election standards, was disbanded in 2023 in favour of direct representation from the number of votes.
