Paragraph 14
 

Article 81 represents a clear constitutional choice for a model where the political party is an entity superior to the individual candidate and where the political formations in Parliament, rather than the individual Member of Parliament, are the dominant element in the exercise of parliamentary democracy. However, parties exercise these powers in specific cases based on the behaviour of elected candidates.
