In Belgium's particracy, a party president can:

Pull the party out of the coalition → coalition collapses if majority is lost
Impose voting discipline → all party members must follow the party line
Veto nominations → party decides who gets appointed, not the elected officials

At commune level, the bourgmestre needs a majority in the council. If a coalition partner withdraws, new elections or a new coalition must be formed.
