The Cry Baby Party has arrived on the scene! It is a new political party which has the following implicit platform:
Cry Baby Party Platform
- The candidate’s campaign is to be started within an existing party
- The candidate will take funds and support from the existing party
- The candidate makes promises to the supporters
- The candidate pledges to support the party’s nominee
- The candidate loses the primary
- The candidate switches parties or declares a write-in campaign
- The funds and support from the original party are forgotten
- The promises to the original party are forgotten
- The main goal for members of the party personal power, whereas serving the cause of the previous party is just a means to this personal power
