From the parties perspective:
Power. Power is more more easily obtained and retained when it is centralized between limited options.
From the constituents perspective:
Apathy. It allows people to simplify their political energy. Hours of research on a candidates' political platform or simply looking at which letter is beside their name?
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
