That is a good question. The concept of the Whip began in the English Parliament with the word taken from the use of a whip to keep hounds in a pack during a fox hunt. The Whip is an official of a political party. The Whip's job is to keep party members in line on votes as well as inform members of when a vote will be taken and the party's position on the vote. Use of the whip in the American Congress began at the turn of the century with first the Republicans adopting the position in the Senate and then the Democrats in the House over a period of time stretching from 1897 to 1915. The concept of the Whip is retained in many nations around the world, especially those that were or are part of the British Commonwealth. The English Parliament adopted the position in the 1700's according to the British Parliament's website.
For the British Parliament we have today, there is a long history of conflict: the beheading of King Charles I, and a civil war. But, eventually, a democracy arose. Members of Parliament are now elected by the people, to serve the people, for the good of the people.
The Democratic Party doesn't have another name like "G.O.P." for the Republican Party. In particular, the name "Democrat Party" is incorrect. No member of the Democratic Party ever refers to it as the "Democrat Party."

New Zealand does not have a President. The head of state is the Queen, who is represented by the Governor-General. The Prime Minister is head of Government, and is also a member of Parliament. Elections for Parliament are held every 3 years. As long as a party and or its allies holds the majority of seats in parliament, the Prime Minister (party leader) can stay in power indefinitely.
