This doctoral thesis examines the relationship between individual parliamentarians and their political groups, in order to understand how to give meaning to concepts specific to political science but also relevant to the legal world, such as representativeness, responsibility, and responsiveness. By adopting three specific methodological elements—legal realism, necessary multidisciplinarity, and comparison with other legal systems—the work seeks to answer several questions specific to constitutional law, and more specifically, parliamentary law. Specifically, it asks what the legal nature of parliamentary groups is and what scope there is for considering them as powers of the state, finally considering the relevance of an explicit constitutional recognition of the notions of opposition and minority. From this, it asks what role and relevance the individual parliamentarian has within their political groups, especially when combating the phenomenon of defectors, in a crucial balancing act with the prohibition of imperative mandates, seeking to delineate the role of the Member of Parliament within their respective groups and in the Chamber as a whole. The first chapter begins by providing a description of the parliamentary group, based on the constitutional, regulatory, and legislative provisions closely interwoven with institutional reality. The second chapter then defines the status and powers of individual parliamentarians, highlighting the close connection between constitutional revision, electoral law, and regulatory reforms, and examining the relationship between individuals and their respective Chambers.The third chapter then proceeds with a comparison with the French legal system, which will provide some food for thought in order to define regulatory and case law mechanisms to address the aforementioned questions, addressing them at the constitutional, legislative, and regulatory levels. Here, too, the two sides of this issue will be considered: the group and the individual parliamentarian, analyzing the respective powers, prerogatives, and relationships for both. Finally, in light of this brief examination of the foreign parliamentary system and the current relationships between the Assembly, groups, and individual parliamentarians, we wish to emphasize the need to restore a regime of political accountability in all fields and spheres of public life.
La presente tesi di dottorato si occupa del rapporto tra singolo parlamentare e gruppo di appartenenza, al fine di comprendere come riempire di significato concetti, propri della politologia ma che pure rilevano per il mondo giuridico, come rappresentatività, responsabilità e responsività. Adottando tre elementi metodologici precisi – consistenti nel realismo giuridico, nella necessaria multidisciplinarietà e nella comparazione con altri ordinamenti – il lavoro intende rispondere a svariati quesiti, propri del diritto costituzionale e, più propriamente, parlamentare. In particolare, ci si chiede quale sia la natura giuridica dei gruppi parlamentari e che spazio vi sia per considerarli come poteri dello Stato, considerando da ultimo che rilevanza potrebbe avere un esplicito riconoscimento costituzionale delle nozioni di opposizione e di minoranza. Da qui, ci si domanda che ruolo e che rilevanza abbia il singolo parlamentare nel gruppo di appartenenza, soprattutto quando si debba combattere il fenomeno del transfughismo, in un fondamentale bilanciamento con il divieto di mandato imperativo, cercando di delineare il ruolo dell’onorevole nella formazione di appartenenza e nella Camera tutta. Nel primo capitolo si parte fornendo una descrizione del gruppo parlamentare, basata sulle previsioni costituzionali, regolamentari e legislative, strettamente intessute nella realtà istituzionale. Si passa poi, nel secondo capitolo, alla definizione dello status e dei poteri del singolo parlamentare, evidenziando lo stretto legame sussistente tra revisione costituzionale, legge elettorale e riforme regolamentari ed esaminando il rapporto tra singolo e tra singolo e Camera di appartenenza. Nel terzo capitolo si procede, poi, con il confronto con l’ordinamento francese, da cui si potranno delineare alcuni spunti di riflessione, al fine di definire congegni, normativi e giurisprudenziali, per rispondere ai summenzionati quesiti, intervenendo a livello costituzionale, legislativo e regolamentare. Pure qui si prenderanno in considerazione i due termini della presente questione, ovverosia il gruppo e il singolo parlamentare, analizzando, per entrambi, i rispettivi poteri, prerogative e relazioni. In via conclusiva, si vuole ad ogni modo sottolineare, alla luce della breve disamina del sistema parlamentare straniero e delle relazioni attualmente sussistenti tra Assemblea, gruppi e singoli onorevoli, come sia necessario restaurare un regime di responsabilizzazione politica in tutti i campi e ambiti della vita pubblica.
Il parlamentare nel gruppo di appartenenza: tra rappresentatività, responsabilità e responsività.

Abstract
This doctoral thesis examines the relationship between individual parliamentarians and their political groups, in order to understand how to give meaning to concepts specific to political science but also relevant to the legal world, such as representativeness, responsibility, and responsiveness. By adopting three specific methodological elements—legal realism, necessary multidisciplinarity, and comparison with other legal systems—the work seeks to answer several questions specific to constitutional law, and more specifically, parliamentary law. Specifically, it asks what the legal nature of parliamentary groups is and what scope there is for considering them as powers of the state, finally considering the relevance of an explicit constitutional recognition of the notions of opposition and minority. From this, it asks what role and relevance the individual parliamentarian has within their political groups, especially when combating the phenomenon of defectors, in a crucial balancing act with the prohibition of imperative mandates, seeking to delineate the role of the Member of Parliament within their respective groups and in the Chamber as a whole. The first chapter begins by providing a description of the parliamentary group, based on the constitutional, regulatory, and legislative provisions closely interwoven with institutional reality.
