The main objective of the work is to answer the question of how Czech MPs and parliamentary party groups (PPGs) make decisions. Thus main concerns of the authors are issues of PPG unity, the adopted mechanisms of internal control and negotiation and, primarily, the factors that influence, structure and restrict the behaviour of individual MPs and PPGs. The work focuses on the 3rd electoral term of the Chamber of Deputies (1998ů2002); in some cases a comparison with previous terms is provided.
