The hierarchical organisation of a political party often corresponds to administrative division of a country, i.e., the parties have the provincial local organisations, municipal or district organisations, or regional Organisations and finally a national organisation Numerous parties have in addition, functional divisions, which are similar to the division of the three powers of the state: the intra-party party tribunal for the resolutions of conflicts (Judiciary), which can punish and even expel party members for acts that may damage the public image of a party; the general assembly or party conventions (Legislature); and the party executive (Executive). Some parties have, furthermore, an extended board with representatives of the subordinate party organisations. The structure of parties has been presented in the above diagram. Figure 1 exemplifies the complex geographical and functional division of a political party (not including intra-party associations and special party groupings). It also shows the paths of legitimacy within the party which corresponds to the principle of democratic legitimisation of leaders from the bottom to the top positions of the party hierarchy.
