At the same time, one could argue that even if this is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution or in the Law on Political Associations of Citizens, representing their supporters in parliament and taking part in the parliamentary process is nevertheless part of political parties’ tasks and objectives, should they receive enough votes to do so. Public subsidies to political parties may at least partially also be justified by the performance of public functions by those parties, including the participation in parliament. It would therefore not be unreasonable to link a portion of the funding to the extent to which members of political parties carry out public functions in the legislature if elected to do so.
