Abstract
Local political parties are usually regarded as parts of larger party organisations prevalent within all levels of representative institutions. Nonetheless, many European countries are familiar with independent local parties that have no formal links with supralocal parties. As the existence of these parties has often been seen as a political anomaly, we know little about the ways in which independent local parties organise and operate (Saiz/Geser 1999).
