Maxwell Boltzmann distribution with maximum entropy approach has been used to study the variation of political temperature and heat in a locality. We have observed that the political temperature rises without generating any political heat when political parties increase their attractiveness by intense publicity, but voters do not shift their loyalties. It has also been shown that political heat is generated and political entropy increases with political temperature remaining constant when parties do not change their attractiveness, but voters shift their loyalties (to more attractive parties).
