      Not everyone is staunchly one party or the other. The people in the middle are the main target for campaigning.

          That’s just how it’s portrayed in the media.

          Plenty of people will always vote one way ofc.

          But just as many people swing based on how well the current government is doing. They are the voters you need to get on side.

            Uhh, no. That’s how most voters actually behave now.

            Even if the government is doing better under opposition, they will pivot and move goalposts to justify voting for whichever tribe they’ve been voting for.
