majority route. The subject studied was entitled: "The inapplicability of the party loyalty
in major positions in light of the current jurisprudence." The present work was based

mandate holders chosen by the majority route, with the purpose of examining and
understanding the judicial measures and regulations that surround the theme, as well

or not of the party loyalty rule in majority positions. The research technique adopted
