Legislative politics

Enforcing how party members vote

In legislative politics a whip is a party officer who enforces discipline, and whipping is the pressure applied to make members attend and vote the party line, a strong instruction being a "three-line whip." Kam's Party discipline and parliamentary politics analyses how whipping, loyalty, and dissent shape cohesion in parliamentary parties. The referent is the machinery of party vote discipline, sharing only the word with a rope binding or a culinary foam.[1]

Unit: The enforcement of party voting discipline among legislators
Recovery means: Not applicable
Measured by: Indicated by party cohesion and the rate of members voting against the whip
