2019 Federal Election

  For example, the liberals are right now, seeking to limit my freedom to vote for my party of choice (and yes, social pressure is limiting of freedoms, although not as tyranical as actual laws). 

I would gently suggest coming up with different language to describe this situation. Although you do mention that social pressure is not as tyrannical as actual laws, I don’t think that’s good enough. I think it’s insulting to people whose freedom to vote is actually limited (unable to vote due to unavailability of voting stations, intimidating behaviour by police or informal armed or just imposing groups, laws preventing candidates from running based on spurious rationales) to say that a campaign effort to encourage a certain way of voting is limiting your freedom to vote.

Even the social pressure is pretty gentle, and diffuse as well. There is probably as much social pressure to vote for different parties. In some circles, everybody is pro-NDP, or pro-Green, or pro-Conservative, and the level of acceptance of political differences varies.
