member of the Swedish Riksdag

Members of Parliament (Swedish: riksdagsledamöter, singular: riksdagsledamot) in Sweden sit in the Riksdag.' Description Members of Parliament refers to the elected members of the Riksdag. In Swedish, an MP is usually referred to as a riksdagsledamot (member of the Riksdag) or a riksdagsman (Gentleman of the Riksdag). The former is in more common use today, especially in official contexts, due to its status as a unisex word, while the latter was used more often historically and literally refers to a male MP exclusively.
