What a load of tosh!
If we all only voted for a party we genuinely backed, then no-one not even the most die hard, members of any party would ever vote, we all agree and disagree with various points that are brought up by
all, the parties at some time or the other, but if I could only vote for Joe Scroggins because he agrees with everything I say it would probably be because I AM, Joe Scroggins!
We vote in an imperfect system that exists in an imperfect world, if we could agree with every aspect about any one party then it would no doubt be 'the perfect' party, no need to change them therefore no need for mere mortals to vote.
Therefore we vote for the person, (or party), we feel to be closest to our own wishes and beliefs, it IS a compromise, without that compromise even you would have to negate yourself from voting!
