Imagine a group of friends who all love pizza on Monday. But when they go to the park, some want ice cream instead, and suddenly, their favorite food is different. Political parties are like these friends: sometimes they change their ideas because people inside them have different opinions, or they need more votes in an election.
Examples
- A group of kids who like football start supporting a basketball team because they want more friends to join them.
- A family that used to vote for one candidate now votes for another because the new person promised better grades at school.
- A group of people in a party decide to support a new idea so they can win an election.
