party discipline  

Definition(s)

  • Party discipline is an essential feature of modern democracy and government, and refers to the efforts parties exercise in monitoring their members—keeping them as a cohesive group rather than as disparate individuals. Party discipline reinforces party loyalty among members who may otherwise be capable of independent action and be tempted to act individually.
