Abstract
The paper attempts to formulate an answer to the question of what an ideal party should
look like at present, and what contemporary reality in Poland is like.
In his attempt to create an ideal model for a political party, the author adopts the concept of
the ‘good state’, as developed in the paper Wyznaczniki dobrego pañstwa, as a point of reference.
He goes on to compare the way in which contemporary parties fulfill their functions to
the objectives of a good state (egoistic objectives: to retain power and maintain social and political
security; altruistic objectives: social order and reforms). He adopts six fundamental
functions of a national party: intermediary, electoral, ruling, shaping public opinion, educational
and organizational function.
The author concludes by saying that there is no ideal political party in Poland that performs
its functions in relation to the ‘good state’ well. Instead of convincing society about
themselves, contemporary (2007) Polish parties have created conflicts and created sharp social
divisions that continue to exist.
