re: How should a politician vote - conscience or constituency

I think constituency up to a point. There are frequently political issues that don’t come down firmly for or against one’s personal convictions and values. In those cases I would give a very strong preference to the will of the voters. If the will of the voters trampled on some basic freedoms I’d vote my conscience and they could vote theirs at the next election.

One’s personal convictions and values should be let known before being elected. Then not set aside for voting. I suppose this is idealistic view.
