Abstract

Using Katz and Mair’s perspective on the political cartel, this paper describes the reality of legislative oversight in the reformation era. This perspective explains that political parties are increasingly dependent on the state resources. Consequently, the relationship between political parties in the legislature and the voters they represent is weakened. The quantity of oversight conducted by the parliamentduring the reformation era does not necessarily indicate the quality of the representation. The process and outcome of the inquiries and interpellations proposed in the parliamentrepresent the interests of the parties rather than that of the people. The competition in the parliamentis merelya political bargaining mechanism among political parties, particularly to get access to the public resources. With costlycampaigns, all parties arehighly dependent on the state finances. There are various corruption cases involving politicians from different parties, which are evidenced of the phenomenon of political cartel.
