My Dad died when I was 5, so I have no knowledge of his politics.
I vote pretty much the same as my Mom did, though.

Poll: Your Father's Vote
- Thread starter SnakeoilSage
- Start date
Given that me and my father are have very opposing beliefs, I would assume no. Although because I cut contact with him several years ago, I don't know for sure.
He's a Freemason, and I'm a staunch Atheist who doesn't believe in the existence of "supreme beings".
As for my mother. She's a careworker, and as I can't stand looking after people (I'm not all that good at looking after myself after all), I'm not all that much like her either. Nor do I vote like her.

My father and I live in different countries (hell, in different hemispheres), so that's not possible. We do vote for similar ideologies, though. Not sure how to vote.
Most of the time. I usually try and gather up information about the people I'm voting for beforehand so I vote with a clear mind and the way my father and I think are so similar that it usually goes that way.
The only difference was when Obama was running against Hilary in the primaries. He voted for Hillary and voted for Obama. He didn't think NY would vote for the black guy over the ex-president's wife. I voted for who I wanted to win.
Sometimes, people surprise you.

No idea. I don't take voting seriously anyway. One group of liars against another is the only truth in politics.
Yes, because we vote based on our moral/political views, which are very similar, since I got them from my parents.
I've only voted twice though. Once, for EU seats, and again for the Swedish Elections.

The thing about my father is that he always votes for democratic politicians, even if he doesn't know what they stand for. Also, his liberal views usually only apply to financial issues. In terms of social issues, I'm the most liberal in my house.
In...
...Norwegian politics: Probably not, but then again I'm not the most up-to-date when it comes to politics, I'm afraid, so I'm hardly sure about my own votes there.
...American politics (both US citizens too): Aye, I'd expect so. The options are fairly limited.

I doubt he/she meant "do you vote for X 'cause your father does?". 'Twas "do your votes happen to go to the same candidate(s)?" And it's possible to agree with your father without choosing whatever he does.Kysafen said:
Hmm well I don't know my father too well like that since my parents divorced, he was never a very political guy to be honest.
Erm he got re-elected 3 times if you don't count his first election. He was re-elected 1945 or 44 I forget which but he died shortly after. This was of course inspiration to make an amendment that puts a cap on the number of terms you can get (which to me makes no sense, since it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal).TestECull said:
I'm actually not old enough to vote, and I try to stay out of politics, but if I were going to vote, I'd probably pick whatever I agreed most with, as opposed to what my dad picks.
Though, my dad and I seem to share similar views on a lot of political issues, so maybe we would vote the same; but not intentionally.

I don't know what party he votes for. Nor do I care. We keep our political leanings out of any conversation. For all I know the rest of my family could all vote for the BNP.
