What political party supporting family were you born into?

[OneUmberJoker]

As in what party did your family support
Labour for me

Dad was Lib Dem, mum Labour

Labour.

Labour. I canvassed for them in the 1983 election in my buggy

Nowadays, I vote for whoever will keep the Tories (and now Reform) out. I have no time for (extreme) identity politics, but even less time for Brexit and racism.

Left-wing but across several different countries so the parties differed, and there wasn't really a tribal loyalty - people would happily swap parties depending on policies/for tactical reasons if that seemed appropriate, and the left-winners ranged from communism to pretty much centrist liberalism. But never a right-wing party.

My parents were both Tory party members and local councillors. Often when I told people my parents were active in local politics they assumed, from me, they were Labour, and when told they were Conservative people often used to say things like 'Oh, are they really strict parents?' to which I could reply that no, they were about the most liberal parents I knew.

They were fairly atypical Tories and very socially liberal, pro immigration and so on. I think they have up membership under the last government but I think would still vote from them.

I'm much more left than them, as are my siblings and they don't care how we vote, as long as we do vote (my mum did not grow up in a democracy). But it does mean I have a more nuanced view than 'all tories are scum/bigots' etc as I like my parents very much!

Born into a working class labour family who slowly changed to reform/conservative other than DH and i

My grandmother was solidly Conservative but both my parents were Labour. There was a big social/cultural split in the family which I wont go into. I have never voted anything but Conservative until lately. My parents were not happy with that. I voted Reform in the GE.

Tory. Grandparents were labour. Parents got fed up of strikes and started voting Tory.

All of them would vote reform now.

I look forward to politics and tax becoming more localised in future so you can pick what you want. I don't want the same things as you so hope you can have as many asylum seekers and criminals and drugs addicts where you live as a labour voter who likes that type of thing. I would happily vote to castrate paedophiles etc and support reform and Tories.

Would be great to see more local taxation and income tax rates to give you what you want like higher taxes in labour areas to pay for all the criminals and asylums seekers and in areas which dont want them we can have family values, tough law and order and lower taxes.

Grandparents a mix of Liberal and Labour. My Dad was Labour and my mum was a member of the communist party. I've always voted Labour.

My dad was a socialist, my grandad was a trade union representative and a staunch Labour supporter. He'd canvas for them and give people lifts to the polling station.

My mum has never told anyone what she votes.

Plaid and Lib Dem - with some tactical Labour voting thrown in.

Labour.

I still vote Labour, my dad has voted Green for the last 10 years, my mum voted Reform in the last election. My sister is still a Labour voter too.

Labour.

I've never voted for them, never would

My parents met in the Young Liberals (in the late fifties)

Labour voting English family including all the aunts, uncles etc. I'm a Labour member but I know a lot of my cousins have started to vote for Reform. The Scots side of my family are mixed Labour & SNP with a cousin who is a councillor and the SNP leader on her council.

My parents were active in the local Labour Party and my mum’s parents also supported Labour (only when it was ‘Old’ Labour).

Not sure about grandparents on dad's side but he and mum I think were always Conservative.

My other nan was a staunch Labour supporter, belonged to the local labour party, went to all the conferences to take notes for them and met John Stonehouse and Neil Kinnock. She was fiercely labour right to the end of her life.

Not sure what she would think of the current lot though ...

Lib Dem or SDP Liberal Alliance as it was when I was little. Mum stood for the Liberals for local elections before I was born, and like a PP I remember delivering leaflets for later elections, it was lots of fun. We also used to go to the Liberal fete, and sometimes run a stall. I don’t know if they both voted Liberal at every election in their lives, I think Labour sometimes, but the Tories were the devil in our house, and Thatcher in particular.
Ive always voted Labour myself.

Liberal, we are Labour

Labour all the way. Thatcher was the devil incarnate in our home.

My dad was a Tory, he thought Mrs Thatcher was marvellous (yes, quite!) My mum was a staunch Lib Dem. We used to talk politics as a family quite often. I was a Labour supporter initially (never have voted Tory, never will) then became an SNP supporter - I never understood why we would accept another country ruling over us, it never made sense to me.

My dad was Labour, growing up in a mining community in the 30s he was never going to be anything else. My mum was completely apolitical, I can’t remember her ever even voting. The current iteration of Labour is way too right leaning for me.

I had a family who were not forthcoming about who they voted for, though I am reasonably certain they did not vote Tory, judging by the comments they made and the political interests they had.

Parents very much Labour their whole lives, now strongly not Labour (not sure who) apparently after the education tax closed one grandkid’s school.
