Many people voted for Southern Democrats, but they liked the job that their Congressmen and Senators were doing in Washington. Does that mean they believed the trash coming out of Strom Thurmond's mouth? No. The same here. I won't vote for an opposition party constantly, period. All the other parties either had no chance of forming a government or were offering the same essentials. Except for the Progressives, no one dared step outside the consensus. Smuts also kept in place a more liberalized version of apartheid, yet I voted UP many times. When I vote, there is no party which corresponds exactly with my views, so I go with the most overlap. Does NP believe in small government, fiscal conservatism, and strong foreign/defence policies? Pro-Americanism in the Cold War? Yes. If another party offered this which had a realistic chance of forming a government , then I would vote for them. Same goes for India. I would disagree with Congress' socialism, unfettered statism, Emergency, sterilization, etc. But all the opposition agrees on is anti-Gandhi clan, and that's insufficient to vote against Congress.

Sorry for the long rant, but I'm trying to make clear why I voted that way.
