So, how many of you have the same political views/leanings as your DP/DH?

I've seen on some of the threads here that there are people who's DP/Hs are at the opposite end of the spectrum.

DP and I are pretty similar, which he's happy about - he can't vote in the election, but is glad that we would both vote for the same party so I'm kind of voting for both of us.

Do you end up fighting a lot (around election time)? I don't know if I could be with someone who had the opposite political views to me. Same on religious views. And music. Movies we differ, SUBSTANTIALLY

dh refuses to tell me. I suspect he votes the same way. I respect his privacy on this (though I'm dying to know!)

DH and I are voting differently this year (if he votes for who he says he is planning on). But both of us have voted in different ways from the way we are voting this year in other years. Probably have co-incided sometimes . Both of us are happy with this.

However, if he voted BNP that would be a different matter.

In our household I vote Lab, dh votes Lib Dem. We agree on a lot of things actually and are able to discuss things without resorting to arguments. We're both lefties though so not too polarised.

ILs vote the same way- FIL LD and MIL Lab- and they cannot discuss politics at all.

we are exactly the same! how spooky, have same polital, religious and music tastes (mostly) even enjoy the same tv shows but movies are where we can't decide. Probably the reason why I've only seen about 10 films in my life!

Very similar views, and it was very important to me that we did.

I could never ever have married a Tory. Voting Tory says a lot about your values and I couldn't marry someone with values so opposing to mine.

So no arguments here .
