I've walked the streets of Gamla Stan in Stockholm. The Riksdaghuset is practically next door to the Stockholm Palace. They are just going counterclockwise on all the sides of the Palace in Gamla Stan and onto the Riksdaghuset on the neighboring small island. They're traveling for a total of 2,382 ft (726 m), less than half a mile.

[@frank-ko6de]

Dude, just shut the f up. The man doesn't even live at the Royal Palace but at Drottninholm Palace, which is much farther away. The man is just performing his constitutional duty as head of state in opening parliament. The parade itself is a means for the public, especially his subjects, to witness him perform his constitutional duty on their behalf. You captain obvious know nothings kill me.😶😶😶😶

It's really too bad that the King was stripped of his constitutional powers in the 1970s.

[@ruralor]

The goverment's initial idea was to turn Sweden into a republic. King Gustaf VI Adolf actually signed a bill to investigate a possible transition into republic. However, this met a lot of resistance in the general public, so a compromise was chosen instead. The monarchy would continue, but stripped of all it's constitutional powers. The King is just a mascot.

Beautiful building, but the parliament chamber looks like a university lecture hall.

[@Divedown_25]

You're quite right here The Parliament House was constructed between 1897 and 1905, however there are actually two buildings next to each others connected with a walking bridge. The two buildings of the complex were originally constructed to house the bicameral Swedish parliament in one of the buildings and the Swedish National Bank in the second having a semicircular shape. After the bicameral parliament was replaced by a unicameral legislature in 1971, and the bank relocated, the building housing the bank was rebuilt to house the new Assembly Hall, glass windows high up at the walls were added and the Assembly Hall was given the modern touch, or as you say looking like a University lecture hall.

I guess the other one is the Emperor of Japan? Yes, Sweden is practically a parliamentary republic. The King has no rule in the forming of government. Prime Ministers are appointed by the Speaker of parliament, not by the King, like in most monarchies. But the King of Sweden does have a minor role within foreign policy. He recieves ambassadors from other countries, and also signs the letters for all ambassadors Sweden send abroad.

@@keiths81ca It is a cermony. So you're basically right. However it is requiered in the law Riksdagsordningen. It is an "addon law" to Regeringsformen and Regeringsformen is part of the swedish constitution. So I would argue that this is a constitutionally requiered cermony.

[@archduchessalexandra6290]

8 of the most democratic countries are monarchies and Sweden is one of them, its better than those thieving politicians that are elected to steal from government offices and the citizens. Republicanism is a half failed system Plus monarchy doesn't divide its people like political parties do. Monarchy is a part of our country traditions, there simply doesn't appear to be any reason to abolish it. It's cheaper to have a monarch than a president, since you don't have to go out and recruit a new one ever so often. It's not like they're given any power, so they don't mess things up. It clearly works, we aren't gonna abolish 1,200 years of history and tradition just for a president.
