Politics is often about negotiation and compromise between different points of view. No legislation is ever "perfect". Therefore, on some matters, I would be willing to put aside some personal concerns in order to vote for key legislation -- or for legislation that isn't perfect, but is still necessary, or good.
If a matter arose in which I objected to my party's direction, I would do everything I could to change the party policy. I would dialogue with my colleagues, with party members, and with members of the public -- in order to share my own concerns, and to hear and consider other perspectives. If, in the end, I was unable to change party's position, and yet I still had a profound, conscientious objection, I would be willing to vote with my conscience. |
