- Some of the environmental policies - in particular the wording suggests climate change denial (any sort of science denial pretty much guarantees loss of my vote)
- Implied support for practices like naturopathic treatment in the health policies (not direct funding, but rather tax-free accounts that can be used to pay for it, which still indirectly amounts to taxpayers funding quacks) - though at least there's not mention of homeopathy
Thanks for the feedback. I think the party recognizes we can't be everything to everyone.

In any election you will never find a party/candidate that matches everything you believe in. The best you can hope for it one that is as close as possible and one you have confidence in.
