They're not voting because...

Can't prioritise equally worthy causes. Politicians obviously pick topics close to voters' hearts eg fighting crime, improving the health service, reducing taxation, better housing etc etc. They avoid suggesting anything contentious eg killing poor people, so it is hard to disagree with the motives behind each of the individual policies.
Given a non-radical array of worthy causes what I feel unable to do is to understand the relative priorities and costs behind each of these given the limited resources available to the government. It seems an incredibly complex task to decide which manifesto provides a sensible balance.
