I come from a fairly different background from the majority of my past boyfriends, which tends to lead towards a difference in voting habits (one of the most obvious being, that I bother to vote while they do not!). I have a strong set of core beliefs which would be described as right wing, and whilst I would not avoid a relationship with someone who was more of a lefty, I would have a problem if I was with someone whose political views conflicted with mine to the extent that we disagreed on the way in which to bring up our children etc.
In my relationships, I have always challenged the political views held by my other half, as often I've discovered that they vote for a certain party simply because their parents did, rather than because they upheld the political beliefs that that party stands for. I have also always tried to press the importance of using your vote and not being complacent, as I can't stand people who moan about the system, then don't try to change it, by putting their X in the box.
