It wasn't an issue, and people didn't go around claiming to be right or left wing, like they do today.

Right wing.

My dad is a 'rags to riches' Tory and my mum is a middle class Tory who joined in 1992. My mum however has just left the Tories but my dad would never leave.

Both voted Remain.

It rubbbed off on me, as when I was first interested in politics I was a hardcore Tory but then I read up on politics and ended up as a Liberal Democrat.

Pretty centre, really; Mum has a slight left lean, Dad has a slight right.

If I had to define myself (for whatever point there is) I'd say I don't really have any strong political convictions, but I'd lean right more.

Mainly Conservative my family were.
However more centre of politics were their leanings.

The vast majority always voted Conservative.
However now, including myself the majority would see themselves as more left of centre.

Now supporting Labour.

Centre left.
Family were Labour, dad was a party member until the day he died.

They always kept it private like it was a big deal. I’ve still no idea where they lean.

i grew up in a family where my parents showed common sense. Politics were never a main theme in life

Politics were always kept private when we were growing up, it's still seen as rude to ask anyone who they vote for etc in our village

parents are right wing

they had supported Pim Fortuyn during the elections, and were sad he got assassinated

and now they are anti mark rutte, and pro geert wilders


i'm myself more bit towards SP (socialist party) which isn't too extreme right wing and PVDD (Party for Animals = Party voor de dieren) bc of my love for animals of course

I grew up in Newham, Labour stronghold... but we never really discussed politics. Your vote is between you and the ballot box.
