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!
I never said genuinely back a party 100%, just genuinely back a party. Please don't put words into my mouth.
