The General Representative was then established to be the leader of the largest self-established caucus of members, with the Representatives being all independents in the beginning with half of the Representatives being nominated by the Prince. Since they tended to organize accordingly to ideology and policies, they naturally formed the modern political parties and from that moment, the General Representative became the leader of the political party with the most elected candidates.
