You should have wrote 'voting: the art of picking the lesser of two evils' IMO. It would have fit the content better. I was thinking at first you were talking about politicians and their decisions.

Anyway, the best thing to do is vote for the party whose values more closely match your own, not expect specific policies. It is better to vote for the better candidates than the ones which claim to support specific issues. I vote for the green party in New Zealand not because I specifically like their policies but because I like their values and the way they conduct themselves. You'll see time and again politicians being either unable or unwilling to actually follow through with their promises.

 

Perhaps I should have. It may have been a bit clearer. But I meant politics in a more personal way, kind of like what the word politics means to me in this sense.

As for your second part, that is effectively what I did in the end, I voted for the party whose values most closely matched my own, but I still wasn't happy about voting for them.
