If a Bahá’i were to insist on his right to support a certain political party, he could not deny the same degree of freedom to other believers. This would mean that within the ranks of the Faith, whose primary mission is to unite all men as one great family under God, there would be Bahá’is opposed to each other. Where, then, would be the example of unity and harmony which the world is seeking?
