In the United States, my parents probably would have been straight Democratic. I think my mom would've voted for Clinton in the primaries, though, and she really like Edwards in 2008 and 2004. My dad doesn't care for American politics, but would probably be straight Democrat.

In actual elections they voted in/could've voted in, now:

Mom
1993: Bloc
1997: [didn't vote. I guess Bloc]
2000: [didn't vote. I guess Liberal]
2004: [didn't vote. Liberal]
2006: [didn't vote. Conservative]
(France 2007): Sarkozy (UMP)
2008: Liberal

Provincially, she voted for the PQ all the time until we moved to Saudi Arabia. Is now a federalist, but wouldn't vote for the PLQ (because she dislikes Charest) and she thinks the ADQ is retarded. She probably would've voted PQ in 2008 though, just 'cause she dislikes the PLQ/Charest. Probably voted Liberal provincially in Ontario in 2007. She voted YES in 1980 and 1995.

Dad
If he voted federally at all, it probably would've been Bloc until roughly 2000. In 2006, he probably would've voted Conservative, and probably in 2008 too, but he told me he'd vote the way I'd tell him too since he doesn't pay attention to Canadian politics (you can't blame him), so Greenies. He probably would've voted Green in Ontario in 2007.

He was a member of the PQ for a few years and actually campaigned for the PQ provincially in the '80's. He canvassed for the YES in 1980 and therefore voted YES in 1980 and 1995. He doesn't care for Quebecois politics anymore. I still see him voting PQ.
 
His first vote in France was in 2007, where he voted for Sarkozy and would probably do so again today. When he lived in France, he was a Breton nationalist and didn't vote. Though he did stick up Giscard posters with his boss in 1974 for fun.

My family in Canada is divided. One of my aunts, who pays a lot of attention to world politics, would have voted Democrat in the US for a long time, but I suspect she supported Clinton in 2008. In Canada, she's a diehard nationalist (and Trudeau hater), therefore straight PQ/Bloc. In France, she supports the PS and would've voted for the Mentally Insane Lady in 2007. One of my uncles is a card-carrying member of the PLQ and was a federal Liberal until he voted Tory (gasp) in 2006. He is a Trudeau-fan. One of my other uncle told me he voted QS in 2007 and Liberal provincially in 2008. He is probably a straight Bloc supporter federally. My part-Italian uncle voted Tory in 2008, but his wife didn't.

My family is France is... I don't know. One of my aunts, the one who is a local councillor for the Green Party, is anti-Sarkozy. Probably Royal in 2007. I suspect she voted the Socialist list for the Senate in 2008 (yes, she was in the electoral college!). Her husband (technically not married though. whatever) is a bit of a wacko conspiracy theorist and probably doesn't vote at all.
