FI is the more conservative party voter, whereas I am not. I have never voted liberal but have voted labor, democrats and the greens in the past. Do you and your S/O vote for the same party and if so does a difference in political beliefs cause friction in your household? We often have a difference of opinion but it's never been so bad that we argue over it. Sometimes I hear people say "I would never go out with someone who votes this or that" but it doesn't make a difference to me, unless they are right wing extremists. This post is not intended to be a political debate, just seeing how you manage political differences. _______________________ << Everyday is a gift, which is why we call today "the present" >>

No debate here!!

We would semi heatedly discuss it, and then move on. Looking back though, he was right most of the time... I just hate when that happens! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm not always up to speed to the local elections (I know, I know, I should be...) but I try to follow the national elections closely. I'm having a hard time deciding who to vote for, and my FI says he doesn't know enough about any of the candidates. I do know that we're both democrats. I think we're pretty much in agreement on most, if not all, issues.

We sometimes lock horns on some issues, but not really. He has a particular candidate that he just adores, and I waiver between two other candidates. Basically, though, we agree on the core values and beliefs. It's the secondary (and what is it called, thirdary???) issues, but that's no big deal.

surfgirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,438 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 4/5/2007	Yes, we're both of the same political philosophy. I am one of those who couldn't be with someone who was of another party because in todays world, it's not just "you're this and I'm that" like it was when I was a kid. Today, one's political affiliation has such a huge bearing on the goings on in people's personal lives (for good or ill) so I feel it's very important that my partner and I share the same basic philosophical beliefs in that respect. We dont always agree on the details, but in general, we agree. Did that answer your question?
