It's an inevitability of politics since people are generally too
willing to believe in easy utopian promises. When you look at minor
policical parties it's even worse, because they never get enough
power to implement their misconceived schemes and therefore grow
their own imaginary world where "because we'll solve a with b, we
can fix c with d...".

The major parties love to inflate the potential of their schemes
as well, but eventually they actually achieve power and frequently
fail to implement them or find they're ineffective, so their
policies get flushed out and start again at the next
election/revolution. To try and get closer to topic, imagine it as
a stack in a computer.

Then if the majors make a particular habit of filling their stack
with rubbish between each flush, a radical minor party might get
elected and unleash their huge full stack of ideas. Then that soon
gets flushed out in a stream of failure and infeasibility, so the
new party is forced to realign itself along some other course while
still trying to hold on to the support it won for its original
vision. They often turn to frantic nationalism at that point.
