Answer: The correct answer is : The whips are the executors of the party. They are formally known as assistant party leader. The main function of the whip is to keep track of the number of votes in favor and against a legislation. They also have the responsibility of increasing support for a particular position with the help of the party leader. Not all votes are flogged because if the party leaders are aware that a bill is going to be easily approved, they will not need to count all the votes.
