"The cartel party thesis presented by Richard Katz and Peter Mair years ago has proved to be one of the most valuable concepts in recent research of party politics. Although the concept has been based critized several times (e.g. Koole 1996, Kitschelt 2000), many changes of party competition and party organization pointed out by Katz and Mair proved to be valid. In this context, particular attention has been paid to the problem of public financial resources received by political parties whose expansion can be considered as one of the most important signs of cartelization of party politics. In other words, the parties have become increasingly dependent on state for their resources. Case studies of Slovenia (see Haughton, Kra\u0161ovec 2011) or Estonia (see Sikk 2003) have shown that the extension of state subsidies unified parliamentary parties no matter their ideological profile was." .
