Tomasz Bichta



Abstract

Political parties Law and parties’ statutes contain some information about party structure and organization. One of its aspects is the institution of membership. The article describes rules and requirements of membership in Polish party system and in particular in some of the most important political formations that had or still have its parliamentary representatives. The problem of membership is not edited in details in Polish law. There are some abstract ideas and clues. There are also two special institutions: prohibition of membership in political parties and suspension of membership. They regard some professions and functions in political system of Poland. They are also very controversial because seem to be inconsistent with constitution. Political parties’ statutes aren’t too complicated in the matter of membership as well. They usually contain the revision of legal matters. They are similar in most of parties, but what’s interesting not all of parties project an open membership. Some of them expect their future members to fulfi ll additional conditions.
