I am quite sure there is no such thing as a politician with whom everyone agrees.

It is all about compromise.

Agreement with politicians is not a binary, and what we're trying to do is maximise the agreement between the most people and the most politicians.

In fact, when designing a good voting system, we're literally trying to minimise the amount of compromising that voters have to do, when voting for their representative.
