!!!Fraktion

Fraktion (Parliamentary Party), association of like-minded members of 
parliament (in the Nationalrat, Landtag in the provinces or municipal 
councils) usually belonging to one political party. Party discipline 
means that the members of a parliamentary party must vote on a measure 
as previously agreed upon; although it contradicts the concept of the 
free mandate, this is common practice in Austria. In the Nationalrat, 
the Fraktion (Parliamentary Party) is called "Klub" and is headed by 
the "Klubobmann", or the Chairman.
