Do you and DH / DP vote for the same party?

[PlaymobilPirate]

Dp votes Tory, I vote Labour (although Im tempted by Lib Dem this time) Our votes effectively cancel each other out.

Neither of us can see the other side. We're in the North East. Both teachers, both from very working class backgrounds.

Just wondered if any other couples are similar?

We vote the same. I would struggle if we had totally different political views, I think.

Me and my DH had the same conversation this evening. I'm labour whereas he says he would ordinarily vote Tory but this time won't bother (which I nagged him about!)

We both came from similar working class backgrounds but both work in very different industries which I think influences our voting. Both our parents voted out.

Me and DH vote conservative now although before the whole Brexit issue, we did vote for other parties. We’re both well educated but not particularly wealthy. To be honest, I think if we disagreed on politics, we would avoid the subject!

We vote the same in local elections. We voted differently over Brexit. We haven't fallen out over it or had any heated debates. We both understand why each other voted the way we did!

We land on the same side but vote differently. For instance last 2 times DH has voted Green. I’ve voted Lib Dem and (even though it pained me) SNP.

Honestly we would struggle if he was say a Tory or UKipper or something.

In all honesty because my political believes are driven by my personal experiences and how I raise the dcs, I couldn’t marry someone who voted differently to me.

We've not fallen out over it, and we won't.

We'll walk to the polling station together but vote differently 🙈 Both of our sets of parents voted out. We both voted remain.

He’s a teacher and votes Tory?

DH and I are pretty aligned, I would struggle to live with someone who had a vastly different political outlook.

We don’t even get to vote in the same country...🤣🤣

DH voted leave, i voted remain. I have no strong allegiance to any party. Last election i voted labour as i felt our local candidate was the strongest and most engaged with the community. Dh strongly disagreed and rushed to the polling station at 9.59pm having decided he couldnt be bothered to vote to effectively cancel out my vote!!

He really teaches and votes Tory? 😮

I’d struggle with a partner who had a hugely different value base to mine - and that would be reflected in our politics.
We discuss and usually agree. We’ve voted the same at every general election. Slight differences in local elections.

Dp is a teacher and he voted leave and will vote conservative in the GE.
I’m a physiotherapist and I voted remain and I’ll be voting for conservatives as well in the GE!
We’re both mid 20s.
He converted me to the leave side!

In the past I've always voted labour but will be voting Lib Dem's this time around.
DH has always voted Lib Dem's. I would really struggle if we had opposing views politically but thankfully we are pretty much aligned with each other.

We don't always vote for the same party, but we have similar beliefs and will vote Labour, Green or Lib Dem.

I can't imagine being with someone who would even consider voting Tory, UKIP or Brexit party. I'm pretty sure dp feels the same.

Not always, but prior to indyref and Brexit, I wasn't aligned to a particular party and think its a bit daft when people stick with the same old without actually looking at their policies/candidates etc. Like some of my family do.

That being said, me and DP are fairly aligned and I don't think we'd be together if either voted Tory

We vote differently. Not a problem. Although DH quite often spoils now and we both spoilt for the Police Commissioner one. He wrote "what a fucking waste of time" and I wrote "what a fucking waste of money". We hadn't even discussed it beforehand

We're both leftie liberals though DH is probably more left than me. We both vote labour but if I didnt think it would be a wasted vote I would probably vote lib dem this time. DH has previously voted lib dem.

I would find it very difficult to be in a relationship with someone who voted tory.

Me and dh are both floaters. We vote differently much of the time.

We both voted for Blair. I've voted Lib Dem most often. This time for me it might be Tory I think. DH has said he's voting Green.

We don't argue about it much. We say what we might vote. We comment on the news and watch political programmes together. We're both very interested in history. We get on great.

My gran and granddad were both staunch Labour and Tory - both working class. They never argued. They adored each other and had a long successful marriage.

Yep.

I vote Labour/Lib Dem, he would vote Tory.

Or he would if he ever bothered to go and vote. Reminding him isn't top of my list of priorities on election day.

Both voted remain. I'm ex Labour member and Dh much more centrist than me but we'd never vote Tory.

He thinks he knows how I vote. We differ but it's between me and the ballot box and I'm not wanting to be nagged.

We generally vote the same. In a referendum we check we are not cancelling each other out, wouldn't bother going if one of us was yes and the other no!

We wouldn't necessarily vote for the same party but neither of us would vote Tory.

I think he'll be voting Lib Dem and me Labour in December but we're not particularly far apart politically.
