Poll: Your Father's Vote
- Thread starter SnakeoilSage
- Start date
Me and my father find the same party's acceptable to vote for, but we dont always vote for the same one. Last election he voted NDP and I voted Liberal (were Canadian). Other elections weve switched.
But it will be a cold day in hell before either of us votes Conservative!

My dad is well an idiot when it comes to voting, I'm pretty sure he didn't vote for Obama either because he was a socialist or black. So, yeah, I don't vote anything like him, although, I've never voted, most likely will next year since most of the Republican presidential candidates scare me...
When I first started to vote yes. I wasn't as informed about people who were running so it was just a "fuck it" moment and just voted for who he was voting for. Now that I pay attention to politics, and the upcoming presidential election will be my first one, I doubt I will, I want someone who I think do well, not who my father wants.
When my father was alive he was a pretty radical liberal, and I myself am pretty damn conservative, so no we didn't vote for the same people
So, what are you going for, here?
I said yes, because to make it binary, we do tend to vote the same way.
However, that doesn't mean I vote the same way he does because he is my father. We both make our own decisions, and they are usually the same.
Sometimes they are different, though.

Not usually, but neither of us follow party lines so sometimes we end up voting for the same person.
I'm pretty sure I am. We don't talk politics a whole lot, but I'm pretty sure he's sovereignist too.
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.
