Undoubtedly, participating in parliamentary activities is an important cornerstone of the work of political parties in parliament, and allows them to represent their voters in a key decision-making body of the State. Nevertheless, work in parliament is not the only purpose of a political party, as also reflected in Article 30 (1) of the Law on Political Associations of Citizens, which states that parties shall receive funding for “financial support of party activities and development of the party system”. Even in situations where a majority of elected Members of Parliament of a party refuse to take up their mandates, depriving a political party of all state funding is an unduly invasive excessive and disproportionate measure. In some cases, the lack of such funding would seem to deprive political parties of the ability to operate at all.
