Why Do Political Parties Change So Much Over Time?

Political parties are like clubs that people join. Sometimes the members of a club get new ideas, and they want to change what the club does, or maybe some of them leave to form their own club. This is why political parties change over time. If most members like a new idea, the whole party might switch directions or even split into two different clubs.
