Political parties and legislatures are types of institutional groups

How is the partisan nature of the Texas state legislature changing?

a. Voting on major policy issues has become increasingly characterized by a coalition of liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans opposing moderates of the two parties. b. When the Republicans took control of the Texas state legislature it did so on a platform of zero cooperation with the Democrats, and there is now less bipartisanship than in the U.S. Congress. c. Under Republican leadership bipartisanship initially continued, but there has since been increasing partisanship and less willingness to compromise on selected, major issues. d. When the Republicans took control they maintained the practice of appointing an equal number of Democrats to leadership positions, a practice that continues today.
