party allegiance
Voter's team commitment
Party allegiance is loyalty or commitment to a political party.
The phrase describes voters who consistently support one party's candidates regardless of individual qualifications: Her party allegiance kept her voting Republican for forty years.
Strong party allegiance can override other considerations—policy disagreements, candidate flaws, or changing circumstances.
