Do you have different political views to your family members?

Hi everyone.

This is really nosey of me, and it's absolutely none of my business, but I'm just curious.

Do any of you have different political views to your family members (e.g. your partner, parents, siblings or children)? And how do you both deal with this if it's a problem?

Again, just me being very nosey. I support the Lib Dems, but my family are mostly Labour.

Both myself and DH have voted Tory, Lib Dem and Labour in the past depending on the leader and needs of the country at the time.

I think our politics are pretty central!

This time I think we will both be voting Tory but hoping that a decent Labour Leader will come along soon off you fuck Corbyn

Mum and Sister both Tory

Brother - Green

BIL and SIL both Labour

Extended family such as cousins and aunts tend to vote UKIP but we try not to mention that in polite company

The only people we can't really discuss politics with are BIL and SIL as they are bloody rabid at times and post hysterical nonsense on their FB pages.

With everyone else we have always managed to have interesting, oftentimes lively but always respectful conversations about politics.

Looking forward to sitting with family tomorrow night and watching the counts come in!

I actually really admire couples with completely different views on politics.
I just couldn't do it.
My politics is massively intertwined with my life, protests, activism, groups etc, I couldn't be with someone who didn't line up with that sort of thing.

My family are all very varied with our political views. We're quite well educated on the subject and are all quite involved in our own ways, and as much as we've had the odd argument, we can usually avoid things getting out of hand (and I quite like having the opportunity to debate with my family - it's something we've always done).

My sister is strongly anti-capitalist, my grandfather was previously a Conservative MP (a long time ago!) and voted leave, and the rest of us sit somewhere between the two.

My husband and I have very similar views (we met through politics at university), so no problem there.
