I'm pretty sure I am. We don't talk politics a whole lot, but I'm pretty sure he's sovereignist too.
Poll: Your Father's Vote

This all stems from a conversation I had with my best friend. I realized we both vote for the parties our fathers vote for - it was a strange epiphany and I've been wondering if my political views haven't been subconsciously decided by my dad's. After thinking on it for a while I've decided that we vote the same, but the reasons why are very different. As for my best friend... well that's a different thing all together. Listening to him and his father, I've come to the conclusion that his views are pretty much copied verbatim from his dad.Nuke_em_05 said:
And that led me to this poll: I wanted to get people thinking. Some might be surprised by the answer they find for themselves.
I don't vote based on party (although my political beliefs do typically favor one party over the other) but I didn't during the last election.
I guess. My father generally doesn't vote on party lines, but I believe he generally goes Democrat over Republican, which is like me.
My dad is generally a moderate with some right-leanings when it comes to economics. He usually votes for who he personally believes to be most competent, regardless of political party, and I personally don't ask him who he's voting for since I don't consider it my business. So, I'm sure some elections we vote similarly, others we don't, so my vote is for unsure.
I do, although I think what's more relevant here is if they influenced you - as in 'yes but not because he does' etc.
I do indeed vote for the same as him, then again with the conservative government as it is, it's hardly like I got a decent selection right now....

Amusingly, my father is to the left (labour) while my grandfather is to the right (conservative). Which makes for interesting dinner conversations.
OT: I do vote the same as my father.

My dad played a large role in influencing my political views for sure, and I have voted for the same party as him a couple of times, but not every time, like me though, he doesn't vote for the same party every time, he floats between (UK parties) green and labour, and I float between those two and the lib dems. One thing we both strongly agree on is we would never ever vote conservative. My mum did once though, before she met my dad. Every now and then when they're having an argument he'll throw in the unbeatable "at least I didn't vote for Thatcher!" card.
I voted unsure...
Mexico's political situation is rather tricky. I no longer know who to vote for.
In Spain, I will vote for the PSOE, which is the same my father will vote for.

well, I go voting, although maybe not the same people/parties my dad votes. (we share most opinions, but that doesn't mean shit in the mass of german parties)
there are several problems with the question, though:
I have NO IDEA why it would only target the father of the family. I mean, wouldn't it be a better assumption to ask if we vote the same as our parents? It makes me feel like women are not allowed to/just plain don't vote in the US or something.
Second thing is, this question seems to be mostly targeted at US people, who don't really have any democracy at all (there is just plain no choice for people to take in the system. There are two parties - one full of retards, and one with slightly less many retards).
*rages on forever about the political system in the US*
...
*ahem* Anyways, let's stick to the important question. Why the daddy focus?

My dad is an Ex-Military now alcoholic who just yesterday was charged for his 4th drink driving offence and banned for 4 years, on probation for a year.
He thinks Britain still has an empire, he wants to break off all ties with Europe, fill in the channel tunnel and start trading with solely India, Canada, Australia etc etc etc
I wouldn't vote for the same party as he would even if I was on fire and they were the only ones capable of putting me out.

Why yes, since we either vote for the slightly less incompetent people party (Unidad Nacional), or the PSUV which has been the dominant party (with different names) for the past 12 years. And since inflation, increasing crime rate, corruption, totalitarism, amongst other fun things don't go with us, we vote for Unidad.
Well we don't plan it out ahead of time, but when the pool results are in and we both make the same victory and defeat gestures, well, I guess we voted the same.
Depends on who he votes for. Like people actually should, we vote who we think would be the best for the current time. Party loyalty is an inherently ridiculous idea when you consider the fact that circumstances change.
