ABSTRACT
This chapter intends to analyse the policies of the various political organisations toward their members. It examines what extent the different organisations actually want some form of communicative rationality to develop within their internal structures. The chapter argues that the openness of organisations to discursive tendencies is not a clear-cut question. It demonstrates that there are a series of internal tensions that can be located within each of the political bodies. Moreover, it is clear that, to a certain degree, these conflicting tendencies transcend the spectrum of organisations under examination. The findings discussed in the chapter have also illustrated the range of conflicting tensions that currently inform the structures operating within the political public sphere. Given data arose questions about the attitude of the members of the organisations. These will be useful to know about the various types of participation that actually function within the different organisations.
