POLITICAL PARTIES FOR DEMOCRACY AND CHALLENGES OF LEGISLATIVE POLICY

Abstract

Ensuring engagement of the population is the core precondition for the existence of the political party as an institute. The same idea is the source of its legitimation. This essence considers political party as an indivisible element for the government’s democratic functioning. If a political party is discussed from this perspective, does public governance have an obligation “to protect inner party democracy”? To put it in other words, is it mandatory for the legislator to act in the area of a political party not only ad extra but also regarding the mentioned unification ad intra. Do there exist challenges (factual or ideological) that lead to the increase of legislative regulation?
