If I disagree with just one sentence of a parties manifesto, do I have the right not to vote for that party?

Answer 1

Yes, if you feel that strongly about it. However one sentence out of possible hundreds can leave you voting for a party that has even more sentences you may object to.

Answer 2

If we with held our votes until a "perfect" candidate came along, we would grow old and die waiting. If you're engaged in the democratic process, you weigh the pro's and con's of each candidate or party and support the one which is the best fit -- not a perfect fit, just better than the other parties or candidates. Back in 1992, I voted for a candidate I didn't much care for at all; on a scale of 1-10, I'd have given this person maybe a 2. However, I'd have rated the opposition candidate as a zero or less, so I held my nose and voted the "2 out of a possible 10" candidate.

Of course, you always have the "right" to cast your ballot according to whatever decision making process you wish. Toss of a coin, tallest, oldest, most familiar, best TV ads, whatever -- you have the right to cast your ballot either wisely or carelessly, as you desire.

Answer 3

You have the right to vote or not to vote for any party.

If there is a party and only one line of their manifesto is all you disagree with then I wouldn't not vote for them, I find most of their manifestos offensive, maybe just agreeing with one thing!

Answer 4

you have the right not to vote for any party... and if your selection criteria is such that you would not vote if you "disagree with just one sentence of a parties manifesto" then you probably WON'T vote for any party

Answer 5

You have the right to vote for anyone you want, for any reason you want, or not to vote at all.
The problem with an informed electorate is that they have those rights, and because of them, many don't vote at all.
I would suggest that you don't sweat the small stuff, and vote for the ideas that are most important to you.
Sometimes this means holding your nose about one issue or another, but at least you still have a voice about the issues that you care most about.
Please don't waste the opportunity to vote because of one issue.

Answer 6

With no idea what you are talking about, all I can tell you is you have every right to vote or not vote for a person or party as you see fit.

Answer 7

You have the right to vote for anyone you want, regardless of the party. You have the right to disagree with anyone and anything you want. That's the beauty of America.

Answer 8

Which party has a manifesto? I agree with JimSocks.

Answer 9

yes you do

however look to what party benefits you the most then vote for them

for example if Scottish vote labour as they give vast sums of money from the English.

or if you have a brain avoid anything with a left leaning agenda as you will be taxed into the stoneage

Answer 10

you do but you don't have to have the right at the same time, look around, and if other parties have more than that, then you shouldn't vote for them
