This paper argues that political parties are one of the major means of organizing the work of the legislature and developing public policy. The role of political parties in a given legislature may be influenced by the following - type of governing system; how many political parties are in parliament; the relationship between the executive and legislature; historic and cultural development; and relative strength of internal party structures and resources.
