I'm surprised that people see crossing over the party line as an extreme move considering that one side suggests change and the other suggests conserving what we already have, respectively in their most basic forms.

There are many famous quotes from highly intelligent individuals highlighting this basic nature of the left and right wings for us. Is it so difficult to believe that a person can easily change parties with such ease? Surely once radicals have achieved what they were aiming for then they can only become conservative, unless what they initially thought was a good idea has led to something they didn't quite predict? Same goes for a 'conservative'... how can they say they are conservative if they are trying to change things?

I'm not a political mastermind so I'm only wondering. It just seems slightly odd to me.
