Raised by a communist and a miners daughter,
And my granny was a suffragette (albeit towards the end of the movement). One of the earliest books I remember reading was the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. This may have coloured my views somewhat.

My family
are die-hard southern Tories. This may have coloured mine, slightly :)

my family
aren't of any particular political affiliation but discussion was encouraged and participated in as long as we could provide valid points. I believe my father may have voted Labour once, but I would guess mostly Tory. As a result my families views range from me (Tory centre-right,) my sister (slightly socialist) and my brother (further right than me but doesn't bother to vote)

my family generally shares my attitude
"but they're all cunts!"

haha!
I read that entirely wrong. In that I thought you were anticipating the reply 'but they're all cunts' in answer to your family thinking the same as you

My MiL is a salt-of-the-earth common prole who votes.........
Conservative. "Because they know how to rule us properly."
I despair, I really do.

SEES RED!!!!
Then sees the smiley. It's just so typical of people who think that their responsibility ends with voting a government in.
