A parachute candidate,or carpetbagger in the United States,is a pejorative term for an election candidate who does not live in the area they are running to represent and has little connection to it. The allegation is thus that a desperate political party lacking reliable talent local to the district or region is "parachuting" the candidate in for the job,or that the party wishes to give a candidate an easier election than would happen in their home area.
