For me I vote based on the second routinely voting against my pocket book for abstract outcomes and I still view this to be a vote in self interest as my vote is to build the society I want to live in as opposed to ensuring I maximize my share of whatever society is producing.

This. I could never imagine voting for a single issue, like cheap daycare, while ignoring the rest of the platform. Gotta think bigger picture.
This federal election covid played a huge part but most often it would be a balance of fiscal and social policies.
I also vote thru the lens of balancing preferred outcomes and credibility. I probably align more closely with the ndp than anyone else, they’re just so damned bad at being politicians, no matter how hip and woke Singh is on social media, that I can never vote for them in their current form.
I would never vote along party lines for the sake of it.
