Brazil has the most fragmented system in the world. The present research assesses 20 years of regulation in Brazil focusing on the main aspects related to party fragmentation: partisan creation rules, thresholds, prerogatives in legislatures and party funding - collated to party EffNs indices from 1994 to 2015. Besides, it organizes the EMB data on party registering since 1979, the electoral party offer since 1994, and assesses the EffNs in the beginning of each legislative year in order to check fragmentation after elections. The research adds a Legislative approach, counting time in Congresses. It concludes that the constant amendments on the original National Party Act (Law # 9,096/1995) – many of them by judicial review jeopardized the balance intended by the Constitutional Writers who fostered party creation, controlled by a legislature threshold that regulated access to party funding, using carrots more than sticks to enhance a democratic culture in a new democracy. The amendments, including ban on threshold and increasing party funding with spread distribution, ended up promoting the creation of parties by floor-crossing with all the prerogatives of elected members backed by judicial reviews. The results compromise electoral integrity and contribute to the institutional crisis the country faces today.
