Political parties are like groups of friends who all agree on things. But sometimes, they find out that something new works better, so they change their minds to keep more friends happy. Imagine if your favorite team decided to switch sides just because the other team had a cool new player. That’s what happens with political parties, too.
Examples
- A group of voters who supported a party for its strong economy start turning against them when jobs disappear in their city.
- A party changes its stance on immigration after hearing from its younger members who feel left out.
