Representação política | Sistema eleitoral proporcional

Political parties solve problems that are specific to democracies, particularly collective action and social choice problems. Parties also transform social power into political power and fulfill and the political ambition of politicians. A by-product of the political ambition of office-seekers is the accountability of the public polices implemented: they must be responsive to the voters, in order to win elections, given that the voters can reward or punish unresponsive politicians through elections. But the political accountability through elections is very difficult if the parties are not institutionalized in society, if they appear and disappear instantly, if partie's labels have no meaning because there's no party discipline and politicians can switch parties at will.
