1: A political identity where an individual chooses not to support a particular political party. It is important to be careful not to confuse this with being apolitical.
2: A situation where an individual chooses not to take a stance on a political issue, or they decide to establish their own unique political view on that issue that is not being held by any major political party, for any reason. Some people believe this can be a source of privilege, but that depends on what they did, what the issue was, and why they did it.

Practicing political neutrality can allow an individual to have a wider array of options when attempting to address a variety of different issues; as well as ensure that needs and desires of the people are being handled adequately. (To help you understand the GIF I chose for this, imagine the ball is a certain political issue the government would like to address, the two dogs fighting over the ball are the mainstream political parties clashing over which of their solutions will best address the issue, the dog who backed away represents an individual who has chosen not take a stance on that issue, and the dog who stuck their head in between the two dogs heads represents an individual who has made their own unique view on that issue because they don't agree with the views held by either of the political parties fighting over the ball.)

Similar to (political correctness). When someone claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ but worries more about offending others than offending Jesus.

One who's beliefs align with one political party but sell out and votes for another party based on the sole reason of "they won't win"
Look over there Jimmy. That guy is a political prostitute because he sold himself out and voted for another party he didn't agree with just because he thought they could win.

When your just chilling somewhere doing something thats not at all provocative. Your just minding your own business when suddenly you get a stiffy. Wondering why he decided to get up, you ask it, "Whats happening brotha?" Realizing its mistake, it politely apologies and goes down. Afterwards, you hope no one talking to your sophisticated willy.
"So I was hanging out with Sayori if you know what i'm saying and I-"
*willy interupts conversation*
"ay man Sayori isn't something to get excited about,"
"Oh, sorry about that, I'll leave now"
*willy leaves*
"I've never seen a Polite Stiffy before!"

When you bump into a friend of a friend, or an ex, or your mates girlfriend your not that keen on and you have to say hello and pretend to have a brief conversation with them otherwise you look bad.
Bob: I bumped into Lucy the other day, she's so annoying but she's going out with my house mate at the moment so I just gave her the old political greeting and moved on.

"Oh, you better at least have a "polite bite" of your Birthday Cake!". Second example; When your Mom or someone offers you something to eat and you've recently eaten and just couldn't eat another bite. "Oh, honey just have a "polite bite", I made it just for you!". When someone insists you taste something and it doesn't look appealing to you. So in order to not offend them, you take a "polite bite".
