To claim complete loyalty to one group while they have the power to best benifit your interests, and then to immediately switch over to another group as they better suit your interest. This is often done while betraying a number of people who have trust you and placed their faith in your ability to represent them, you essentially scam people.
This is named after David Emerson, the Liberal-turned-Conservative from Vancouver-Kingsway, who defected from the Canadian Liberal Party when a cabinet position was offered to him, essentially scamming his entire riding who were not voting for him as an indivdual, but for the liberal party.

Get the Emerald Drive mug.A radio piece by esteemed NPR correspondent, Robert Krulwich, used to prevent dead air when something goes wrong.
Coined by NPR's Bryant Park Project:
"An emergency Krulwich is a radio piece, any radio piece, by (...) Robert Krulwich. Krulwiches are always fascinating, amazingly well-produced, thought-provoking, and...long.
Matt keeps our emergency Krulwiches locked in a secret bunker beneath BPP world headquarters. He's the only one with the code and the weighty responsibility of deciding when to deploy.
Let me make plain at this point that we don't only use our Krulwiches in emergency situations. Sometimes they make perfect thematic sense and we use them on purpose. Sometimes we just can't resist using them because they're so good.
But sometimes, it's an emergency."
