In the functioning of modern day political parties in most of the western world, parties have set strict guidelines and rules to ensure their primary process follows a democratic process, and members of a said party vote in good faith, in the belief that their vote will help elect the candidate that best represents their interests. Attempts to circumvent that process can result in libel for fraud.
