How to handle political differences in a relationship?

Scroll to see replies

I support the BNP and my partner supports UKIP (like my dad), whilst my mum supports the Green Party and my best friend supports Labour. It does cause the occasional disagreement but it's never really serious or personal, so I don't think political difference is a big deal really :smile:

You should be able to find some leftish centre ground. Plus you can remind him that his party has zero chance of wielding power since the nation is not up for going back to living in mud huts. Lively banter in a relationship is healthy anyway.

I have two friends who have had a very successful 5 year relationship as a hard Left Labour supporter, who works as a SpAd for them, and a 'I like Bill Cash but he's a bit Pinko' Tory, who works at Taxpayers' Alliance.

They have the rules: only ever debate it (ie. Don't argue) and only cover any topic once. Once it's done, it's done.

Works well for them.

Actually, it's because some of my family/friends know my account name on here. Regardless of what party I support, I prefer to keep my political views private, I don't think there's anything particularly odd about that.
