This kind of outrageous partisanship is toxic to the core.
I vote for whatever party represents my interests as parties have the power, not individuals. My interests do not include pedophilia, murder, rape. My interests also do not include "green" energy, being taxed an absurd amount already with future increases, watching my friends struggle to find work and put food on the table, and having bleak economic outlooks.

If our system was based on an individual (that represents my interests) having authority instead of toeing the party line, then I would be voting for that individual. That isn't how our society works.

Edit: if I believed the NDP were the best for our province and my interests, they would have my vote. Same goes for liberal or Alberta party. It has nothing to do with partisanship but rather representation of myself.

I have also recently looked at the nominees for UCP in my constituency and there is one I already wont be voting for if she wins due to her pro life stance.
