If people can change their minds so that they buck party affiliations in response to issues important to them, then it stands to reason that political candidates can as well.
If party disloyalty is a value making metric, it seems as though you should be applauding them, not insisting that they are evil on account of doing what you would prescribe they do.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yes, the parties are just voting blocks much like "Christian" and "LGBTQ" these banners were created as rally points to focus power for use by THEM. The lizard overlords or the illuminati. Ok, really just people group together and with the realization that if you say Catholic you will entice many less people so you water that shit down to, "Um, if you can present intellectual assent to the idea that Christ was a thing you should listen to us and vote like us."
I've read the platforms of both political parties and they both sound like noble parties with the good of the people in their mind. How that platform is expressed though... yeesh on both counts!

1. Being a member of a party doesn't mean you support every member in the party as parties are free for anyone to join . The goals of the party are more important then who's in it .
2. Even evil bastards can have good positions and those good position can be abandoned with party affiliation
3. Hillary as bad as she is was apparently was way worst as a Republican . Trump was always a bastard but he at least support some good positions now he's fully embraced being a dick . Pence was a Democrat when the Democrats will still purging southern conservatives from their ranks. But he has embraced the dickery that is the Republican party .
So this whole argument fails

It’s long been a truism in UK politics that the chief difference between the two main parties is that the Conservatives want a massive military but don’t want to send it anywhere, while Labour want a small military but want to send it everywhere.

I find "party loyalty" to be an aberration from values. If Tjóðveldið politicians suddenly became a bag of dicks and had a bag of dicking political platform, I'd stop voting for my favorite politician in it.

Contrary to popular belief, not all politicians are bad. Some are dead.
