Nice try GJ

 Good try Joe.

 that requires a lot of trust.

Guess it was worth a try Joe.... but don't think you will get many takers

I have tried this with my Mum - Mum said well there's no point in us both going if we're going to cancel each other out and I agreed...however, I have a feeling we will both go

Muwahahahahaha

I like your thinking though Joe, if you strike a dead with Squiggle maybe me and Baz can

My mum married again very late in life and she and her new husband used to go to the polling station every time and he would vote Labour and she would vote Conservative, I often thought they might just as well stay at home

Ummmm..... *thinks*..... ummmmmm..... no..... sorry, but no one is going to deprive me of voting Conservative for the first time ever.......

My mum married again very late in life and she and her new husband used to go to the polling station every time and he would vote Labour and she would vote Conservative, I often thought they might just as well stay at home.....ref squiggle

awwww, but it's the exercise of their democratic right that makes it special

My parents for many years always cancelled each other out ...........(mum later jumped ship) I dont think it ever occurred to then to not vote ..............it was always a bit of an occasion as I think it should be.

I couldn't live with my other half if he voted differently to me. If we were that fundamentally opposed, I'd take it as a sign that we had nothing important in common.

I'm married to someone who has a completely different political view than mine. I've learnt so many different ways of looking at things since we got together, and he sometimes says the same about me. We've never voted the same way....but we are going to at this election.

That's really interesting - I'm kind of with the poster who said they would find it hard to live with someone with a totally different viewpoint - but I guess you have always got something to talk about.

My parents are the same. I don't find it that unusual.

Mr Blizz has had twenty one years of me dragging him leftwards (no mean feat, metaphorically, or otherwise), but is vearing to the right again.

Luckily, he is too lazy to vote.

That's why the idea of a coallition govt. doesn't phase me....it's been a Hung-Parliament in my house for years!

I can't take credit for this, but I quote: If we get a hung parliament, does that mean we get to see them drawn and quartered as well?

My husband just made this suggestion to me!  he must think I was born yesterday!

 I'll vote for that

Are we talking politics or the way he "dresses"?

My husband is a life long tory voter...   I float between labour & lib dem!

Since I brought him into the my village (he moved from london to my village), I always had to vote labour to cancel out his tory vote... which I feel responsible for... cos I brought him here!

This year... we're both voting lib dem.

Soozy...  in answer to what you said earlier about marrying someone with different political views...  its actually ok.  For the first few years of marraige we didn't dare to discuss politics or religion...  knowing how far apart we were on both (he is catholic)..  

We can now discuss stuff... I put it down to us getting older and becoming more laid back.. more open minded...

Ducky!

I think I've become less tolerant as I've got older with regard to politics. I used to think live and let live ...........I now feel the need to convert everybody - actually I think I've persuaded two people (not on here) to re think -

I've been trying to 'educate' my OH on politics for years. I've finally succeeded as he's actually voted Labour this year, AND he's even singing Billy Bragg songs under his breath!
