How have your parents voted in Presidential election?

[Хahar 🤔]

Democratic o/c. My mom is not so keen on Obama, but my dad seems to like him (but doesn't care much for American politics).

They both voted for Sarkozy in 2007. My dad hadn't voted in any other French election because he was a Breton nationalist. He did vote straight PQ in Quebec, yes in both referendums, and was PQ member. My mother also voted straight PQ and yes in both referendums. Neither would vote PQ or yes again.

Why? They seem to be biased toward nationalism. What happened?

They realized that independence of Quebec was now impossible, and in the case of my mother, living outside of Quebec made her realize how close-minded a lot of the Quebec nats are.

I wouldn't call it impssible, just not likely to happen in their lifetime.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't mainly for Republicans. I could see my mother breaking ranks for Clinton, but not my father.

It isn't with a gay drug addict and then a unilingual mansion-owning "social democrat" leader that the PQ will be taken seriously for independence.

I'm almost positive that Quebec will not be an independent nation in 50 years.

In 50 years, the early '90s sentiment could build up again.

And an independence referendum, you forgot about that, didn't you?

Money and the ethnic vote. I know.

Why not just make Nord-du-Québec part of Nunavut and let the rest of Quebec go? It pleases everybody:

• Inhabitants of Nord-du-Québec can stay Canadian.
• Canada stays connected.
• Majority of remainder of Quebec supports independence.[/i]

When my dad was in college, he once drove his Jeep up the steps of the Michigan State Capitol to protest the Vietnam War.

Now he's a business executive.  He is The Man

My dad is the same way. He was a Vietnam Vet, after he got out, he threw all of his medals away symbolically. (A decision he regrets to this day). Now he's a big telecommunications software engineer.

Haha, another interesting thing is that during the 80's, my dad was a union steward for NorthWest airlines. Now he works for Carl Icahn, a man who is famous for destroying unions.

Québec' government will never give their electric dams to anybody and they are in the Nord-du-Québec, like many mines. Too many naturals ressources.

For my parents:
Quebec: PQ and yes to all referendums on Quebec's independence. But my mother will probably vote PQ the next time in picking her nose. She hates Marois.

Canada:
Dad:1984: Probably PC
1988: Probably PC
1993:BQ
1997:BQ
2000:BQ
2004:Liberal
2006:BQ

Mother:1988:NDP
1993:BQ
1997:BQ
2000:BQ
2004:Liberal
2006:BQ

They voted liberal in 2004 to block Conservative Party.

[memphis]

Both straight Dem since they were old enough to vote.  My people don't vote for Republicans.

[CultureKing]

Both parents have been voting for democrats their entire lives (at least as far as I know).

My grandparents are a bit more interesting:

Mother's side:
Grandfather: Probably voted only for Ike and Reagan on the Republican side of things (all the rest democrats)
Grandmother: Full Republican

Father's side:
Grandfather: I have no clue (died early)
Grandmother: Democrats, mostly (perhaps voted for Reagan)
