Federley has held several posts within the Center Party. From 2002 to 2007, he was the chairman of the youth league, Centre Party Youth (CUF). He was first elected to the parliament of Sweden in 2006, and remained a member up until 2014 (with a parental leave in between). In the 2014 European Parliament election, Federley passed the previous MEP for the Center Party Kent Johansson, in personal votes, whom he thereby replaced.
He was Vice President of the Renew Europe group in the European parliament since July 2019. He left politics on 11 December 2020, after heavy criticism for having a relationship during 2020 with a man who was on parole for child rape.
