>does the fact that I disagree with them in a few points matter?

Perhaps not, but you're also lending legitimacy to a system that is abusing you.

But this isn't a board game that you can quit and go home. You are subject to your government rules regardless of if you participate or not. So it is probably better to try and get political representation that you agree with 60% of the time, rather than one you agree with 5% of the time.

  • Even better is to try and get a democracy than to live life by the whims of a dictator. Getting to choose your favourite dictator is of little consolation.
