Base Voters, the "fundamental" in New Zealand's general election, 5 New Zealand parties you need to know

In democratic politics, the term "base/base voters" refers to a group of voters who are almost always simply supporting and voting for a party or candidate of one party. In an election, regardless of whether there are other party candidates to challenge, and in the election campaign to express more specific political views, the basic voters will remain unshakable and will not support candidates from other political parties who come to challenge or compete. Basic voters vote only for the party they have long supported or the candidate for that party.

If the ballot market is likened to competition between commercial markets, a political party is like a company with its own hardcore customers (basic plates). In an election, there are bound to be other challengers or competitors (other political candidates) who come to strengthen your customers and eat up your market in order to win the election. To avoid other competitors to strengthen your market, a party must first defend its "fundamentals" so that it does not waver. These basic voters have a high degree of loyalty to the party and are less likely to support other rivals who come to the contest. After a solid "fundamental market", you will be able to attack other markets, expand market share, and increase the number of customers (votes/supporters) to win the election.

In New Zealand, for example, the basic plates of the parties:

Labour Basics - Welfare recipients, most college students and singles, unemployed, Maori, islanders
The BASICS - full-time workers, self-employed people, property-owners
Greens - Environmentalists and far-left democrats
Priorities - mainly the elderly and conservatives
Action Party - self-employed and small business owners
