What usually happens to protest parties?
( They fade away after the economic crisis ends )It depends on how established the democracy and political parties are in the country.Generally, at least one other candidate, seeing the impact of short-term public support for economic protest, will incorporate portions of the economic protest party's platform into their own platform. Since the economic protest party is a relatively new party, they generally will not have enough support to get their candidate elected. The candidate who is elected, having used the economic protest parties' platform to get elected, will generally discard the platform, as it has outlived it's usefulness. There may be some half-hearted attempts to implement parts of the platform, but no real effort unless it was already part of the politician's agenda before the economic protest party came into the scene. People may protest the politician's reversal, but the enthusiasm for change and sustained protest is greatly diminished, as people use different excuses and reasons to no longer protest, such as:Our job is done, now it's up to them.It's better than what we had before. Even making a small change helps.Protesting won't do anything at this point. The system is broken. OR There's nothing we can do at this point.Let's wait and see what happens before judging, as opposed to continuing to put sustained pressure on people to do things.In the end, the economic protest party dissolves due to lack of sustained support. By relying on public emotion for support, it fades as quickly as the emotion. People who are quickly and emotionally drawn into politics are just as quickly distracted by the next thing.
