state parliamentary group
The group of all representatives of a party in a German state parliament (Landtag). The parliamentary group organizes the parliamentary work of its members.
Die Landtagsfraktion der SPD hat einen neuen Gesetzesentwurf zur Bildungspolitik eingebracht.
The SPD's state parliamentary group has introduced a new bill on education policy.
The word is made up of 'Landtag' (parliament of a federal state) and 'Fraktion' (parliamentary group of a party's representatives). So it describes exactly the parliamentary group in the Landtag.
Die Landtagsfraktion der Grünen hat sich gegen den Vorschlag ausgesprochen.
The Greens' state parliamentary group spoke out against the proposal.
Even though a parliamentary group has many members, 'Landtagsfraktion' (state parliamentary group) is a collective noun in the singular. The verb in the sentence agrees with it and is also singular.

The state parliamentary group is calling for more investment in schools.
In a political context, 'Landtagsfraktion' (state parliamentary group) is often connected with certain actions. It can submit a motion, introduce a bill, or vote for or against something.
Die oppositionelle Landtagsfraktion hat einen Untersuchungsausschuss beantragt.

'die Partei' and 'die Landtagsfraktion' both belong to politics, but they refer to different levels. A party is a political organization that runs in elections and may have members throughout the country or in a region. A 'Landtagsfraktion' is the group of representatives from a party in a state parliament. The words can be confused because a parliamentary group often belongs to a party and is referred to similarly in its name. So the party is the larger organization; the 'Landtagsfraktion' is only the part that works politically in the state parliament.
