Summary/Abstract: Szczecin City Council was based on political parties in election between 2002 and 2010, what means that in previous elections preponderated party's electoral committees over illusory non-parties and non-parties. Councillor clubs established after the elections also have party character, because non-party councillor clubs have short-term identity. The strenght of parties in territorial self-government result from local-life complexity. Electors are voting on party's signboard which they equate with all-Poland electoral slogans and the most known political leaders. Local political party's committees are for voters more effective in meeting their needs. This thesis influence on territorial self-government constitution, its activity, voting results and potential coalition.
