To ask if you have the same political views as your significant other?

[pinklite]

I do. And both of our families also share the same views.

I'm not sure I could have a relationship with somebody that didn't, but perhaps I am being small minded!

Do you share the same views as your SO?

No-one seems to have the same views as I do, which is extremely bizarre as they are spot-on!

Yep. DH and I have the same views.

It's my mother and I who have opposing views. We've silently agreed to no longer discuss politics. Otherwise, we end up having big arguments.

Nope, but we don't discuss politics, religion, global warming, current affairs.... in fact I'm not sure what we do talk about😂 luckily I have lots of lovely girlfriends to talk to, and I like to catch up with the news on Sunday mornings I have become my parents!

😂😂😂

Nope but I'd say neither of us are at the far ends of the spectrum. My left leaning family take the piss out of him mercilessly but he drinks bitter so in my brothers' eyes he's not all bad!

Personally, I don’t understand how someone can marry someone else with completely opposing views because aligning core values are essential in a relationship and someone’s political beliefs represent who they are as a person. I wouldn’t be compatible with someone who didn’t largely share my values and there would be too many heated debates. It would depend upon how different they were as everyone has different opinions but if they were wildly misaligned then it wouldn’t work.

Yes.
Thank you @DoAWheelie , this is what I was trying to say, but you said it much better.

You should think for yourself on each topic, not just leap into a camp because it’s part of your ‘tribe’

100% agree with this.

I also think people should be able to get on with people who hold different views from themselves on some topics. I broke up with someone I was engaged to many years ago because I came to realise that he seemed to think that I should agree with him in a discussion, rather than having thought out my own opinion, and he couldn't handle the concept that there would be times in life when we disagreed with one another.

Yes I and dh do share the same political views.

Yes.

We're broadly aligned. Both left of centre. I'm probably further left.

I vote more tactically, he votes based on his ethics.

I'd say we are both relatively left central, he leans slightly more left than I do. We've both had similar upbringings and life choices.

We tend to discuss candidates before polling but don't inform each other to who we are voting for. Tend to be the same 99% of the time.
