  Parliamentary Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term 'Parliamentary Labour Party' properly refers to the party in parliament, whereas the term Labour Party refers to the entire Labour Party, the parliamentary faction of which is the PLP.
From 1921 to 1970, the Chairman of the PLP was also the leader of the party as a whole (before 1921, leadership of the party was arguably split between the Chairman of the PLP, the Secretary of the Party and the Chairman of the Party).
When the Party was in government, a liaison committee was elected to facilitate communications between the cabinet and Labour backbenchers - the chairman of this committee also chaired meetings of the PLP as a whole during these periods.

 Irish Parliamentary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Each member was required to swear an oath to sit, act and vote with the party, one of the first instances of a whip in western politics.
The party had above all (prior to 1914) contributed in its prime to the political maturity of the nation and to the transformation of its society.
This is perhaps the highest tribute that can deservedly be bestowed upon the old Irish Parliamentary Party, which during fifty years of hard and exacting as well as frustrating parliamentary labours, established and fostered the development of representative institutions which gave stimulus to democratic action and discussion at every level of political involvement.

 Federal Registration of Political Parties Handbook
In the case of a non-Parliamentary party an application for registration may be made by 10 members of the party, one of whom must be the secretary of the party.
This may be in the constitutions of the two parties, or it may be a minuted resolution of the Executive Committees of the parties confirming the relationship.  The secretary of the parent party should provide a letter acknowledging the application, and a copy of the evidentiary documents.
Parties wishing to prepare their own membership application forms should ensure that these meet AEC requirements.  Drafts should be submitted for approval as forms that do not clearly set out the required information will not be accepted.

The Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) was formed in 1882.
Though IPP unity was restored in 1900 under Redmond’s leadership, and Westminster passed a number of reforms beneficial to Ireland (re land, education, etc.), the party consistently failed in its efforts to win Irish home rule, the single issue with which it was most closely identified.
Between 1910-14, however, it held the balance of power at Westminster and Redmond succeeded in restoring the question to the centre of the political stage.

They made sure the fundis--who constituted a minority in the Bundestag party caucus, although they were in fact the majority in the party membership--got unimportant committee assignments and used the resources, access to media, and legal power that were now available to them to promote their own positions.
The realo "reformers" proposed that the party be spoken for by two federal party chiefs instead of the existing committee of speakers.
Their parliamentary ambitions thwarted--that is, their parliamentary strategy a failure--they are now discredited and delegitimated, despite whatever excuses they may subsequently offer for the fiasco.

 Twilight for Bush and Blair | TPMCafe
Ironically, something more like parliamentary government was a goal of "reformers" in the U.S. system for decades, especially in the postwar years when members of Congress of the president's own party continually blocked active, progressive leadership, especially on civil rights.
Strong and ideologically coherent parties with a strong president at the helm were thought to be preferable for progress than the sclerotic system of four parties (James McGregor Burns broke each party into a conservative congressional wing and a more liberal presidential wing) and deep bias toward inaction.
Also, in that system, one party does not always get a majority of seats, so compromises have to be made that, more often than not move the government to the center.
